    icon7.gif   solved: elogd dies upon search, posted by Christian Ludwig on Fri Jun 3 08:59:49 2016 

I would like to share my findings about the solution of our problem:

One of my collegues used elog in a way it was not intended for, he put an endry with 8021 lines of text.

So I grabbed the corresponding 160517a.log file from logdir, renamed it to a text file and created a new entry with the large textfile as attachment.

Since then, no more crash of elogs.

 

May this contribution be useful to other elog users...

Hi all,

ELOG V3.0.0-21dc563

Our elogd dies alwways when searching for full text:

elogd: src/elogd.c:465: xrealloc: Assertion `*((unsigned int *) (temp + old_size)) == 0xdeadc0de' failed.
elogd: src/elogd.c:465: xrealloc: Assertion `*((unsigned int *) (temp + old_size)) == 0xdeadc0de' failed.

The only change we did was adding/editing entries.

 

Does anyone else encounter the same issue ?

I did not find any hint in release notes that this issue would be fixed in a later version

 

Please don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. Elog does a great job for us since years.

icon5.gif   when using webserver authentication, how can I restrict the users that can edit any given elog?, posted by Christian Ospelkaus on Sat Jun 19 18:38:21 2021 

Dear elog users & developers,

the subject line says it all: when using webserver authentication, how is it possible to restict access of users to any given elog? Only using the apche rules? Admin user and Login user do not seem to be doing anything for me. I am using elog as packaged by debian for buster, using an apache ssl proxy. Thank you for providing this software,

Dear all,

I figured it out. Current global config is (using kerberos instead)

[global]
port = 8081
Default encoding = 0
SSL = 0
Authentication = Kerberos
URL = https://my_url_here/
interface = 127.0.0.1
Password file = global.pwd
SMTP host = my_mail_host
Logfile = /var/log/elog.log
Logging level = 3
User = elog
Grp = elog

Best,

Christian

icon5.gif   sorting a drop down menu in elog, posted by chris williams on Sun Jun 24 00:12:15 2007 
Hi, I was wondering, how can I insert new items into my drop down menu and have them appear in an alphabetical order? Is there some sort of code I can insert into the config file to do so?
Thanks
icon5.gif   list of 500 files, posted by chris williams on Sun Jun 24 02:38:31 2007 
How can I have my list accept over 500 entries? I tried increasing the elogd.c (max_n_list)file as stated but the compiler gives me errors. Please help

Thanks for the response. I am trying to use it as a file database, to monitor the status of files(whether they have been removed, ammended etc), currently there are 90 files but I expect the size to grow.
