 I have a possible explanation for this problem, but it is just guess work. If I'm right, then just download the latest ELOG version and it will work properly again.

  • You've downloaded an elog version from git, which still contained the line 12 in elogd.c: char svn_revision[] = "$Id$";
  • Since you did checkout from git, the $Id$ was not substituted.  
  • ELOG trys to extract the version by this:      rsprintf
              ("<center><a class=\"bottomlink\" title=\"%s\" href=\"https://midas.psi.ch/elog/\">ELOG V%s-%d</a></center>",
               loc("Goto ELOG home page"), VERSION, atoi(svn_revision + 13));
  • svn_revision + 13 is pointing into the void. Still I would have expected that you get a number as a result.

My advice: download again and retry.

 I have downloaded a latest version.  It has displayed the new version as ELOG V2.9.2-bac715d where seems defined in GIT_REVISION as I guess.  Then I set Bottom Text Login to a html file, it still shows those unwanted characters.

Okay, why don't you just remove the unwanted characters from the html file? Because the attached file contains exactly those characters.

Yes, unwanted characters are in my file.  In fact, they are not visible under some editor.  So, I have found a reference from this site http://www.ventrino.com/blog/60/2008/07/three-little-characters-i%C2%BB%C2%BF-designed-to-make-your-life-hell/ about how to remove them.  Basically, file's properties has to set to either ASCII or Encode as UTF-8 without BOM.  Thanks.

Bad news: I cannot reproduce your problem with the latest elog version 2.9.2 (e7ba466) on scientific linux 6.0
I had to remove some lines in your config, since I don't have your password file.
I'll attach the config file, please have a look if it crashes on your server with the latest elogd version.

 Thanks for the reply, I tried the very basic cfg and the second one you offered.  Running 2.9.2-2475 on a Windows 2008 R2 V.Server, I still crashed on attempt 10 never fail.  Windows detects the failure and gives this message:
Faulting application name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

It only happens when propagate is on, I have to be missing some security setting in Windows maybe?  Don't know if that helped at all, but I'm out of ideas. 

Can you compile elog? Then I would suggest that you download the latest version from GIT an recompile it. You'll find help for that here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html
I have no experience with compilation on Windows (I try not to touch it, and if I have to I use a long stick ;-)

You don't need "elog" to run the logbook, the executable "elog" is only needed to create entries without the web interface. Stefan should adapt "elog.c" some day to be compatible with the default switches of modern, paranoid compilers; but for the moment you can ignore this.

If you use the newly created "elogd", does that reproduce the former problem?

 I don't see it has crashed when testing your cfg.  However, one thing I must do is to comment out the alarm_handler function in order to compile the elogd successfully.  Otherwise, it shows an undefined alarm, see in the 2nd attachment.  Although it did not crash as tested with your cfg, I have experienced the new version sometimes crashed on our system but then it self restarted (different scenario since my cfg does not use Propagate.  I have not been able to narrow down yet.

Was a tricky problem. When you use "Propagate Attributes", a routine is called inside elogd which recursively goes through all replies. It uses quite some memory for temporary storage of attributes and attachments. So after a certain time you get a stack overflow since you run out of memory. Since the stack size is different under different operating systems, it was hard for me to reproduce it initially. Now I use some different memory (dynamic heap instead stack) which should fix the problem. Can you pull from GIT and give it a try?

/Stefan 

 Unfortunately, I am a little outside of my element when trying to compile it.  I will ask around and see if someone here could give me a hand.  Thanks for looking into this for me.

 

PS.  If anyone else has managed to compile this could you give me a hand =)

 I was able to manage and compile the latest code from GIT.  It runs fine so far.  Just a hint, in order to compile successfully, there are some steps that you may need to modify your header file depend on how you store your mxml, krb5, OpenSSL files and directories.

For the list view, you need an additional

List Change RIB-Admin = ...

Some people want different modes for the list view and the detail view, that's why there are two options.

Hello @all,

because I've got a very quick response on my 1st question regarding
"Change attributes" here is anonther one:
I've defined 2 attributes with "Change attribute" / "List Change attribute" (see configuration).
Because this values are build on other attributes I want to hide these attributes in 
NEW / EDIT mode. How is this possible?

As I understand it must be an static page, or how is it possible to define the content based
