You're really pushing to the limit Wink

The maximum number of logbooks is indeed 120. If you have too many logbooks, they are also hard to handle (too many check boxes in the config page etc.). What if you make not one logbook per server, but have a single logbook and use the server as an attribute, like

Attributes = ..., Server, ...
Options Server = Server1, Server2, ...

Now you can ask: How many options are possible for an attribute, and the answer is 100, which is even less than the number of logbooks. But you can make three logbooks, each covering 100 servers, and that covers your 294 servers.


Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion. I will give that a try.

You might want to consider adding a check that there aren't over 120 logbooks. I manually created the elog.cfg with 294 logbooks. Everything works, except for running into this problem.

Thanks again
icon1.gif   elogd 2.6.0 crash on password Forgot?, posted by Mike on Tue Jan 3 17:20:16 2006 elog-pw-crash.jpg
I have been having a repeatable crash on V2.6.0 everytime someone tries to recover a password using the option from the login screen. See attachment for a jpg of the message.

This is occuring on windows 2003. But I have also tested it on windows XP and it occurs there as well. In addition on XP I did a generic installtion and added the password option to the DEMO application and it fails there as well.

icon8.gif   ELOG V2.7.5 Protect Selection page = 1 Crashes Program, posted by Mike on Fri Apr 10 22:54:56 2009 elog.cfg

When I try to set

Protect Selection page = 1

in the config file elog crashes. Attached is my config file.

icon3.gif   mail to localhost?, posted by Mike on Fri Apr 17 22:44:58 2009 

Initially I thought you had to specify a port number after localhost for emailing.

As it turns out just putting "localhost" as the email server in the elog config

file works just fine. We have a strange problem where our elog server is running.

our outgoing mail has to be routed through port 465 and SSL. I had to set up

postfix and stunnel to handle this arrangement.

icon5.gif   "Forgot Password?" link not working?, posted by Mike on Sat Apr 18 02:49:42 2009 

I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.

for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

but my site loads at http://www.example.com/

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except

if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.

but if I go to one of the log books...

http://www.example.com/open/

The forgot password link works.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.

That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

Thanks for reporting this bug, I fixed it in revision 2197 which you can load from the SVN server.

Thanks for the fix. I tried out 2197 and when I click the "Forgot Password" link it causes elog to crash. I've attached my cfg file.

The problem was the password recovery in conjunction with "Bottom text", thanks for supplying your configuration file. I fixed that in revision 2198.

 That did the trick, thanks for the fix!

icon8.gif   Embedded images break when moving from one book to another., posted by Mike on Fri May 8 16:32:03 2009 

Here's the issue. We use elog to develope products we need to be able to see all the thumbnail images in a

particular logbook. Our default view is to use the threaded view fully expanded in order to have all the thumbnails

be displayed for each product. This works fine but when we move one message to another logbook the thumbnails

end up getting broken and won't be displayed. The only way to fix this is to remove the image and re-upload the

picture after the message is moved. This is not a good option because we have hundrends of items that are

constantly being moved around from logbook to logbook. Any ideas?

Regards,

Mike

 

EDIT:

On further inspection it seems that when you are moving messages to another log book the image date filename

is re-written which of course breaks the html link to the image.  Is there anyway to supress this so that the filename

stays in tact when it's moved from one book to another. I don't see why the name of an attachment has to get changed

just because something is moved around.
