Since updating to version 2.5.8 we have been having problems with the elogd 
service crashing whenever anyone attempts to log out. We are using stunnel 
4.09 on a Win 2k system.

When someone tries to log out of e-log from their desktop the machine 
hosting the service throws an error popup wanting to report to Microsoft. 
The error signature has the following information:

szAppName: elogd.exe
szAppVer: 0.0.0.0
szModName: elogd.exe
szMidVer: 0.0.0.0
offset: 0003586a

Clicking to get the technical information it wants to send it shows these 
two file names:

C:\DocumentsandSettings\krobinde\LOCALS~1\temp\WER6F.tmp.dir00
\elogd.exe.mdmp
C:\DocumentsandSettings\krobinde\LOCALS~1\temp\WER6F.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt

Let me know if there is any further information you need.

Yes, I am up to date with the latest version (2.5.8-6).

What other information can I provide that might assist in diagnosing this?

I will get right on this. Thank you for your efforts!

Hi

Tested this using the 2.6.1 version which comes packed with ubuntu-dapper and a 2.7.5 version I've compiled from source.

If I compile the 2.7.5 version from source and start it using

sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg

config snippets below

---------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
;url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
------------------------------------

The icons show up !!

If I go through an apache proxy (config snippets below)

----------------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

From apache conf

ProxyPass /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        allow from all
</Proxy>
-------------------------------------

The icons are missing !!!

The icons a showing up when using apache and the 2.6.1 elog version.

Dear All,

is it possible to write to the elog instead of the Command line throug a .dll

Best

ssh -L 1234:your.server.name:8080 your.firewall.name
firefox http://localhost:1234/

http://your.server.name:8080/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

http://localhost:1234/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

Thank you for the quick support!

We use ELOG inside a local network, but we want to allow access also from outside the firewall.

The suggested solution from Elog Admin Guide worked fine until version ELOG V2.6.5-1844 (essentially without FCK Editor):

ssh -L 1234:your.server.name:8080 your.firewall.name
firefox http://localhost:1234/

Howerver, since the update to ELOG V2.7.1-2002 the FCK Editor uses absolute links to insert images.

An image uploaded from the local network will have an address like:

http://your.server.name:8080/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

while the same image uploaded through the firewall tunnel will have a link like:

http://localhost:1234/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

Obviously images uploaded from outside are not visible from inside and vice versa.

Is it possible to convince FCK Editor to use relative links?

PS
ELOG is great!!

Hi. 

I am an IT guy of the AMS collaboration at CERN. We have been using your wonderful elog software for about 10 years now. Thanks! It served us so well that I guess we never got in touch with you. 

Recently we have upgraded it (probably for the first time in years) up to the version ELOG V3.1.4-4936b76.

Since then, we have a particular problem. And finally, I managed to reproduce it.

So, when I edit a record and click the "Submit" button it goes back to the summary view (as usual, as before) but it does not really save the entry. And it shows that the record is still being edited. I can actually click "back" in the browser and not to lose the modifications (otherwise, if I try to edit and steal the lock, it's lost). 

I will try to figure out where the problem is coming from. The most verbose mode of the elog server I've found is just GET-POST lines, not helpful. Is there a debug mode? 

Also, we ran httpd configured with the elogd as a virtual host (proxy).

Any help is very appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Andrey
