Hi Stefan,

The latest release (2.8.0-2313) does fix this problem.  Our user is now able to modify entries and upload attachments using their satellite connection.

Thank you very much for your time and help.  I am sorry I didn't receive this in time to help test the old SVN version.

Sincerely,
Devin

I recently upgraded elog from 2.7.8 to 2.8.0 (and moved servers, removed unused logbooks, etc.). I'm now having a problem where elog consistently crashes when attempting to edit multiple entries. This is a very common use case, as we use a "status" field, set to "open" or "closed" to track problems. When a problem is resolved, we will go to the "list" display, set it to "threaded", "select" the thread, and then edit it, to change the status field for all posts in the thread to "closed".

Now, as soon as the "edit" button is clicked, elog crashes. This happens on every thread and logbook that I've tried. The elog logfile itself doesn't show anything useful.

However, if eLog is run with "-v" in place of "-D", it does not crash.

Environment:

        CentOS 5.4

        eLog 2.8.0 built Aug  5 2010, 12:24:11

Hi.

I have ELOG V2.8.0-2313 installed on a SLC 5.5 release and all works fine, Users can register them-self and I see for each of them in the passwd file:

<name>test</name>

<password>***something***</password>

....

after a '/etc/rc.d/init.d/elogd restart' the logins don't work anymore (they did before the restart)

and the passwd file changed:

<name>test</name>

<password encoding="SHA256">***something else***</password>

....

Any idea what goes wrong?

Cheers, Jack

Please have a look at https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66872 

This is not implemented at the moment. 

good morning,

I have installed elog 2.8.0 from terminal but when I type

elogd -p 80

or simply

elogd

the system tells me

Cannot bind to port 8080

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Marco M

Under linux, only the "root" user can start programs on ports below 1024. If you get problems binding to ports above 1024 (such as 8080) it means that some other program uses already that port. You can check what is running usually with

netstat -l -p

I tried to reproduce your problem with following simple configuration file:

[Bergman]
Attributes = Author, Status
Options Status = open, closed
Preset Author = $long_name

The result was that it worked fine (see attachments). Maybe there is another setting in your configuration file which causes the problem. Can you try the simple configuration and see if it still crashes?
