Hi!

Since our upgrade to elog 2.7.3, it is not possible any more to edit an existing elog entry using the elog client with -e <id> option. The only console output is "Error transmitting message". Submitting an entry via the client is not problem.

Running the server with -v option does not yield any output at the time of the edit attempt. Running the client with -v option also doesn't help, because whatever the other options, only the help page is printed out and nothing else done. Btw, there is now a conflict between -s for "use SSL" and -s for the "subdir" option.

Any ideas?

The problem had to do with the integration of native SSL into elog/elogd. I tried to fix it in revision 2099. Please give it a try. I have not tried yet the SSL mode, but I changed the -s for "subdir" to -d not to collide with SSL.

Sorry to bother you with this, but I am not a programmer and this is probably a simple question but I need some help if someone has the time.

Under Global I have the command   -  SMTP host  = smtp.comcast.net

ELOG responds with  -  Error sending Email via "smtp.comcast.net": 5.1.0 sender rejected : invalid sender domain

Your SMTP server does not accept the email send request from ELOG. That can have many reasons. Most systems are set up so that they do not accept SPAM. To do that, they do various checking of the sender address etc. Maybe you need an "Email from = mike2.cianci@comcast.net" in your config file to have a "real" sender address. Some more information you can get if you start elogd interactively in a DOS box with the "-v" flag, because then you will see all the debugging output of the communication between elogd and your SMTP server.

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 2.6.2 to 2.7.3.

In my config file, I have

Quick filter: Date, ID.

When starting 2.7.3, across the top I now get 

"Error: Attribute "ID" for quick filter not found"
followed by an entry box.

If an ID is typed into that box, it sort of finds the right entry (+/- a few on occasion).

I cannot see any documented change that would affect how the Quick filter works.  Any clues?  Thanks.

Actually it is nowhere written the 'ID' for a quick filter should work. After investigating, I realize that it
worked previously "by accident". I added in meantime some test so there is a warning for quick filter attributes
which do not exist, and that's what you got. I loosened this test for 'ID' now in the current SVN version, so it
can be used. It does however not display the single entry you want, but a page containing that entry (which then
is displayed in bold). If you want exactly one entry, just add it's ID to the URL, like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/65767

for your previous entry.

Thanks Stefan!
