There is no possibility to change an admin password. You probably mean that you logged in as admin and cannot change your own password, is that right? Do you use user level access via "password file = ..."? What is your elogd.cfg? I tried to switch language to German and I can change my own password via the config page.
icon4.gif   Install error on MacOS X, posted by Exaos Lee on Mon Oct 10 19:22:51 2005 makefile_modified.tgz
Executing "make" on MacOS X is OK, but "make install" failed due to the following error:
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -d /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man/man1/ /usr/local/man/man8/
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elog elconv /usr/local/bin
install: bin: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67

The reason is that the account "bin" and group "bin" are missing on MacOS X. I also found that the following lines in "Makefile" doesn't work:
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),darwin)
CC = cc
endif

I have fixed this problem. The diff of Makefile as following:
diff Makefile.darwin Makefile.origin
====================================
24,25d23
< BINOWNER = bin
< BINGROUP = bin
30,31d27
< OSTYPE = $(shell uname)

40,43d35
< ifeq ($(OSTYPE),Darwin)
< OSTYPE=darwin
< endif

< BINOWNER = root
< BINGROUP = admin

<       $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o ${BINOWNER} -g ${BINGROUP} elog elconv $(DESTDIR)
<       $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o ${BINOWNER} -g ${BINGROUP} elogd $(SDESTDIR)

>       $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elog elconv $(DESTDIR)
>       $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elogd $(SDESTDIR)


The modified Makefiles have been attached.

Sorry for my poor English. The case is like this: When I set an admin password for my logbook which is named in Chinese, I cannot open the config page while the password is correct. It seems that the logbook named in Chinese cannot recieve the password submitted. If the logbook is named other than Chinese, everything is OK. I will repeat the problem and describe it more exactly.

A way around that problem would be to use user level access (via the Password file = ... and Admin user = ... settings). Can you try if that works under a Chinese logbook?
icon4.gif   Preset text overriden after preview, posted by Yoshio Imai on Wed Oct 26 16:00:00 2005 
Hi, Stefan!

I have run across a problem with preset texts. We have defined a form to be filled in when the operator selects a specific combination of attributes. This form appears correctly, but after filling in the form, clicking on "Preview" leads to an error: the preview text is correct, but the actual text entry field is overriden again with the empty form. Clicking on "Submit" at this point then submits only the empty form, and the information filled in is lost.
When clicking on "Submit" without previewing, the text is entered correctly to the elog. Do you know where the problem might come from?

Thanks in advance

Yoshio

icon1.gif   ELOG v2.6.0-beta5 (Windows) crashes while using " Forgot password?", posted by Edmundo T Rodriguez on Thu Nov 3 23:39:46 2005 
The following ELOG behavior seems to be like a bug ...

-> Anybody click on "Forgot password?" in the login screen, to have the system
send him the forgotten password, and after a little while trying, (possibly doing
resolution) the ELOG application crashes.

The ELOG service have to registered again.

The SMPT host may not be right, but ELOG should not crash just for that.

It should says something like "Can not find SMTP server", etc.

Have anybody got into this problem?, or
What else could be causing this behavior?
