Global change of links/file path, posted by Dr Marta Divall on Mon Dec 2 10:36:41 2024

Dear All,
We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this month our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Marta |

You would have to access the raw elgo database files (which are pure ASCII files) and write some script which goes through all files and changes the URLs.

Synchronising between physically separate networks, posted by Dougie Mooney on Thu Jul 10 12:06:31 2008

Hi there. Just started recently set up the application and think its very usable and easily configured - great stuff 
I'm looking to roll it out to the masses but have a slight logistical problem in that we work on 2 separate networks - NET1 with connection to the internet, and NET2 physically isolated from NET1 and the internet.
It would be desirable to allow users to add/update/delete logs from both NET1 and NET2 with periodic synchronisation.
I believe the mirroring facility is what should be used, and think the following setup and synchronisation steps may be workable:
Setup:
- elog installed on node of NET1
- elog installed on 2 nodes of NET2
- elog server running on NET1 and node1 of NET2 both using a common elogd.cfg
Performing Synchronisation:
- Stop the server on NET1
- copy logbook directories from NET1 to node2 of NET2
- start server on node2 of NET2 using the -M option
- once above complete, copy logbook directories from node 2 NET2 to NET1
- Start the server on NET1
Am I on the right track?
Would very much appreciate your comments and advice on the above.
Cheers Dougie |
Adding texts for each attachment, posted by Dongwook Jang on Mon Mar 16 22:33:23 2009

Dear Stefan,
First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.
I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.
I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.
Thank you.

Dear Dongwook,
no, this is not implemented and also was never requested. The way most people work is that images are included directly in the text, and the the text goes along with that.
So for example if I want to show you the ELOG logo, I put it here: 
If I want to add a comment for an attachment, I write it in the text and just refence the attachment with link. This way is more flexible that adding just a line of text to each attachment, since you can write several lines in the text, make a table etc. etc.
|
Dear Stefan,
Maybe I used elog with very inefficient way so far. The way you suggested requires putting figures somewhere else, right?
Elog saves attachments on the machine that elog is running. I want to store figures in elog.
The logo you showed above is stored in this entry?
Thank you.

elogd runs by a user but not by root, posted by Dongwook Jang on Tue Apr 28 21:25:31 2009

Hi,
I really don't understand why elogd cannot run by root but it runs by a user.
I've put elog deamon in /etc/init.d. So it didn't bring up, but it runs if I run it by user interactively.
Thanks,
Dongwook |

That's a security issue. If elogd runs under a user and gets hacked, the hacker obtains just the user rights, which can be limited. If it runs under root, the hacker will automatically get root rights, which is bad. Technically, there is no reason why elogd cannot be run as root. Just put
Usr = root
Grp = root
into elogd.cfg.

Hi,
I wonder how others manage this situation because deamons in /etc/init.d is excercuted by root. So I cannot run in /etc/init.d/elogd when the system starts up.
What do you think?
Thanks,

The normal situation is that elogd gets started by root under /etc/init.d/, then the configuration file contains "Usr = elog" and "Grp = elog", so after it has been started as root, the program falls back to the "elog" user, which only has restricted rights.
|
Now I realized that it is not a problem in /etc/init.d, but deamon itself.
When I run the following command as a root, it didn't run
/mnt/wd500/jnj/products/elog/sbin/elogd -D -c /mnt/wd500/jnj/products/elog/elog/elogd.cfg
But, it runs when I did as a user.
I really don't understand this strange behavior.
Thanks, |
