Ok, I think I found the problem... For some reason the elcode.js file was only in /usr/local/elog/scripts, but it was supposed to be in
/usr/local/elog/themes/default/ as well.
Creating a symlink between the two solved that problem. I can now do most things with the ELCode, but inserting images is still failing. I get this message from the firefox javascript console:
text.value has no properties (line 32 of elcode.js)
Any thoughts?

| Steve Jones | steve.jones@freescale.com | Bug report | Other | 2.6.2-1714 | SVN1723-overiding logbook directory causes eLog to bomb when going into daemon mode (was SVN1714 will not run in 'daemon" mode on Solaris8) |

| Steve Jones wrote: | | There are also strange system calls that differ, and I thought it might be due to the setuid(60001) -nobody- but the the non-daemn mode also sets to nobody and works fine. |
The elogd program opens the port (which might be below 1024 and thus needs privileges), then either become daemon or not, then changes to the user and group specified in elogd.cfg. So this behaviour should be the same on both cases.
| Steve Jones wrote: | | I just compiled SVN1723 and tried the generic elogd.cfg -- of course *that works!*. Something in my complex config that causes elog to barf when it is attempting to fork the daemon process. |
That's a good starting point. Take your config file, strip one option after the other, and see which is the offending one. This helps us tracking down the problem.
| Steve Jones wrote: | | I have no idea what "/var/run/syslog_door" is. |
I have not either. But one thing which is different in the daemon mode that all output is redirected to the syslog facility via the function call redirect_to_syslog();. This routine was not written by myself so I don't know 100% what it's doing, just under Linux it works fine. Try to outcomment this function and try again. |
| Steve Jones wrote: |
Ok, I've narrowed down the problem to a single attribute. I edited elogd_fancy.cfg as it ships with SVN1723 and found a real bug and an issue:
BUG: In the initial comment section of elogd_fancy.cfg the line # This [global] section contains settings common to all logbooks is not parsed correctly as a comment and the embedded [global] is picked up and confuses elogd, eg., elogd will not pickup the port=8080 option. Taking "[global]" out of the comment restores fucntionality. I recommend checking to make sure that the config file checking routine ignores *entire* lines starting with a comment char;
ISSUE: The option Logbook dir = causes an enormous amount of problems, and this may be limited to elog installs that exist in NFS space (as opposed to local disk). If the default is left alone elogd appears to work fine; Try and override and the fun begins. The previous attached traces show that once going into daemon mode none of the logbook dirs can be found nor indexed. The workaround is to use the default "logbooks" dir. Perhaps the routine that creates the default (if not found) should be the same as the one that creates the override (?).
I reproduced this behavior using the elogd_fancy.cfg that ships.

There is a good reason why this forum contains a ELOG Version tag which you are supposed to fill out for new entries. Without knowing which version you are using I cannot help you. Probably you have an old version which does not support the Allowed encoding. |
Sorry about that... it's 2.6.2-1699, so a very recent one. |

can you think of any obvious reason why the ELCode would not work in the logbooks I set up?
I can use it here, on the forum, and on the DEMO logbook, but not on the ones I created...
Oh, and me inserting "Allowed encoding = " whatever in the config file doesn't seem to mater as well... I always get the 3 options!
Am I missing a flag somewhere?
The config file for this logbook is below...
Thanks a lot

I tried but I was unable to obtain a free account. Furthermore, the problem is probably related to your SMTP server's authentication method. There are many methods and ELOG only supports a subset. So I would have to try with your specific SMTP server. So the only recommendation I can give you is to find an SMTP server without authentication. That one will certainly work with elog. |
Dear all WINDOWS users,
Good news.
you can send email to any SMTP server with authentification !!! Just install component Windows IIS (Internet Information Services). You need the Windows Professional installation CD to install it.
How it works:
ELOG -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> SMTP with authentification (your email provider/ company mail server)
How to configurate Default SMTP Virtual Server:
Right mouse click on icon My Computer -> Manage
Expand Services and Apllications -> IIS
Right mouse click on Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Properties
Select Delivery tab
Click the button Outbound Security ->Select Basic authentification and enter your user/password which you got from your Email-provider/Company -> OK
Click the button Advanced... -> type your SMTP host in the fields "smart host" and "Full-qualified... ", i.e. smtp.gmx.net
(Don't forget to check the tab Access -> Connection and Relay buttons -> Select "All accept the list")
How to configurate your Elog.cfg file:
SMTP host = xxxx
Normally xxxx is your personal computer name by right click on the icon "My Computer" -> Properties -> Tab "Computer Name"
OR
xxxx: the name what you see by expand Services and Apllications -> IIS -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Domains -> Domain Name

What about a threshold for the "All" display? If a logbook contains less than, let's say, 500 entries, the "All" link is displayed, and above 500 entries it's hidden. Would that make sense? |
