In the logbook config file I am not able to use attribute substitution in the <string> tag for
Use Email Heading = <string>
Attribute substitution does work however for
Use Email Subject = <string>
e.g.
Use Email Subject = ELOG $logbook entry; $Category: $Subject
will result in an email subject of: "ELOG Forum entry; Bug Report; Attribute substitution in email configuration"
Use Email Heading = A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date
will result in an email heading of: "A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date"

Not sure if this functionality is intended or is a bug. An comment/feedback/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi,
I just installed v.2.6.1 coming from the previous 2.6.0 (on Win2000)
When I access the "configuration" function from a logbook, in the cfg page I only see two buttons in the header
(save or cancel); in the previous version I saw more buttons there ("global config", "create new logbook" and so
on), so here I'm unable to access global configuration or logbook management (except for current logbook options).
I am logged in as admin (actually I have a single-user configuration, thus no particular users defined).
I hope this report may be helpful, and not just being caused by a misunderstanding on my side ;)
Thanks

  1617   Mon Jan 23 10:30:51 2006 Question djekdjek@xs4all.nlBug reportLinux2.6.1 redirect errors via apache2
Since elog 2.6.0 we cannot redirect our elog via apache2.

in apache2.conf we have (had for a long time):
Redirect permanent /elog http://elog.oursite.com/elog/
ProxyPass /elog/ http://elog.oursite.com:8080/

When visiting the url, this results in:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /elog/myelog/.

After testing we found that ELOG V2.6.0-beta2 works just fine.
2.6.0 stable crashes after visiting a redirected url.

Running on debian sarge

Hello,

I've configured elog with some commands running a shell :

Preset R-Date = $shell(/usr/bin/date +"%Y/%m/%d %H:%S")
; for testing :
Preset $text = $shell(whoami && set)
Preset $text = Some fixed text

That worked well when elog was started by root (and falling to user elog),
but later, I moved all the elog tree to /home/my_name/.elog,
(I'd like to start it only when I'm logged, it's only for personnal data)
changed all the attributes/permissions ($chown -R my_name:my_group .elog)
and none of these commands still works ! I use the -x option to allow
shell substitution.

More surprisingly, even the fixed text doesn't work (???)

Any explanation ?

By the way, I also seen that it is necessary to set Usr and Grp to "elog"
via the config file even when it's started by root, because otherwise,
you always get the strings 'Falling back to default group "elog"' and
Falling back to default user "elog" in the output of the shell substitutions.

Regards,

Gauthier

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere and I'm missing it. I want to stop users from accessing my elog by loading the URL: http://mycomputerURL:8080 and only make it accessible through http://mycomputerURL/elog. The end goal would be to use Apache to control access. I followed the instructions under "Running elogd under Apache" in the admin guide, but what that did was simply to redirect browsers trying to load ttp://mycomputerURL/elog to http://mycomputerURL:8080.

Thanks,
Dimitris

I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

The messages "

# make
gcc -o elog src/elog.c -lutil -lsocket -lnsl
ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to elog
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `elog'

It seems to me that library libutil does not exist on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.
  1646   Fri Feb 3 12:38:57 2006 Question Willem KosterW.Koster@rc.rug.nlQuestionOther2.6.1sort after find
When I do a find (like Field1 = XXX )
and then try to sort the results I get the entire list again (but sorted) instead of the sorted results.
But when I fabricate a url manually like

http://elog.com/Forum/?mode=summary&npp=990&Field1=XXX&sort=field2

I do get the search-results nicely sorted.

Obviously I would like to be able to sort the result of a find-query.

Is this a bug or a feature request ?
