Hi Maikolk,
I have elogd 3.0 running with kerberos: I had no problems with that.
Maybe you forgot to change the Makefile
before compiling?
Uncomment line 28 to:
# flag for Kerberos support, please turn on if you need Kerberos
USE_KRB5 = 1 |

No no, i used the rpm form the website... I was thinking on having the bianries compiled, im downloading the server install dvd
to replicate the environment and have the same functionality. |

Kerberos support is not compiled into the binary RPM. You have to comile from sources to get that. The reason is that there are different Kerberos libraries
around, and different people need different ones.

Hi Stefan - Do you know is Kerberos is available (compiled) on the Windows installer?

Hi Jimmy, no Kerberos is not compiled into the Windows installer. You are the first one asking for that under Windows. All other Kerberos users use Linux
so far. You have to compile the Windows version yourelf. This is because there are several versions of Kerberos around and people need differnt libraries. Sorry
for that. |
Find empty attributes, posted by Arno Teunisse on Tue Feb 16 23:19:31 2016

Want to use the find function from ELOG to search for empty fields ( Attributes that are not defined )
How to do that ?
Could not find it in the Forum. |

Re: Find empty attributes, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Feb 17 18:08:53 2016

It is possible for normal string attributes: the regular expression pattern "^$" can be used to search for an empty string.
E.g.
in this Forum "ELOG Version" is a required attribute, and should never be empty. But if you search for:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?mode=threaded&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=8&ELOG+Version=^%24
you'll
find a couple of entries from a time where it apparently wasn't a required attribute.
Cheers

Good night,
I would be grateful if someone could indicate me, how could I increase the size of the block where the text of the atribute are in the summary
mode.I would like, for example, increase the size of the "subject" you can see on the picture. |

New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/", posted by Tapasi Ghosh on Mon Feb 8 13:52:33 2016

Dear All,
I could not submit a new enetry to my logbook whenever restarting my laptop. I am a new user to elog.
Attached is the screenshot of the error message and also there is "nobody" while I grep elog. |

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.
Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended
- allows write access for "others") |

I am the user and it also has the write access

The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.
But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying from terminal to the email . There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.

Use

Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server?, posted by Dawang on Fri Jan 15 00:20:42 2016

Hi All,
Can I host elog in the web (internet) under windows platform (elogd.exe only) without Apache Web Server? If possible, what syntax should I add
in the configuration file? Appreciate feedback. Thanks. |

Re: Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jan 15 08:04:09 2016

When you install elog under windows, an example config file gets installed which lets you do already what you want. Then you can extend the config file
according to the documentation https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

I admit that I'm not sure if I understood the question. It is quite some work to do the opposite, to run elog behind an Apache Web Server.
But
if you just install ELOG out of the box it will always run without an Apache Web Server. You don't need to add anything in the config file for that.

Thanks Andreas and Stefan,
Since I'm not good in setting up webserver, do you know a web hosting company that can I use to integrate elog so that i can access
my elog publicly same as you are using here? Thanks. |

Can't help you with that, and I think it is the wrong forum to ask that question.
You'll need a web service provider that will
allow you to run your own services.
And then it'll either require some skills in host administration or a full host service by the provider.
Cheers,

This has been confirmed usign the Demo forum on this server. For example, please see https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8
When an image is attached using the "Image" button in the CKEditor, that image does not appear in the attachment table for that
entry. In addition, the image can not be clicked on to view the full image. |

entry does not appear in list while it is being edited, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed Jan 20 20:38:17 2016

When an entry is being edited, it does not appear in the list once it's been autosaved or the editor manually clicks on "Save." This
has been reproduced in the "Linux Demo" forum on this site, as well as on a clean installation of the 3.1.1 binary on EL6.
It would be great if there was a configuraiton option to control this, but I haven't found it yet. To reproduce: |

Hi Devin,
this is the intended bevaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.
Only a submitted entry should be visible to
the world.
If you would have played a little bit longer, you would have found out yourself how you'll get access again to this so-called
"draft" entry after closing the browser window:
as soon as you attempt to create - as the same user - an new entry, you'll |

Thanks, Andreas. I was aware of the "pending draft" menu, and I am aware that you can manually browse to an entry even if it doesn't
appear in the list. However, for our operations group it is a requirement that any saved entry appears in the list, even if it's in the process
of being edited. We won't be able to upgrade until this is possible. |

Re: entry does not appear in list while it is being edited, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jan 22 10:12:33 2016

I have a question here. You say "previsous releases didn't have this problems". Well, they did not have the auto-save feature. You can
turn this off if you like with "autosave = 0". This also removes the "Save" button so elog behaves exactly as before.
I decided NOT to show draft entries in the list, because these are entries currently under editing, and maybe the editor does not want others |

Re: entry does not appear in list while it is being edited, posted by Devin Bougie on Fri Jan 22 18:02:44 2016

Thanks, Stefan! Yes, the old behavior is an acceptable workaround. Although you need to use "Save drafts = 0" for this instead
of "autosave = 0".
Ideally, our machine studies group would like to have the ability to save / autosave an entry *and* have it remain in the list. We'd |
