I went to upgrade to the new version of elog I receive a error message that is.

error: Failed dependencies:
libssl.so.6 is needed by elog-2.7.5-1.i386
rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by elog-2.7.5-1.i386

Do I need these dependencies for elog to work? If I do need them where do I get them for Suse 10.2.

Thank you for any help.

Carl

 

 Starting from 2.7.5, elog needs libssl for any https:// connection. Just install the RPM like you install any other RPM. Now I'm not familar with SUSE, but I found links like that:

http://lenz.homelinux.org/RPMs/

from where you can obtain RPMs. You might have to adjust your YaST installation sources. The package you need should be named opensll-xxx where xxx is some number.

 Thank you

I will look into it.

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged
user.
I also tried to upgrade to version 2.5.3 but running under this version does not ask
for passwords so I reverted to 2.5.2.

Besides these few details, your software is great !

Thank you,

Alexandre

Dear Stefan,
I eventually tried the latest version from the CVS. 
And it is odd because like when I tried version 2.5.3, it is like it ignores
the passwd file. I guess I must have a problem in my cfg file.
So I can't really test if 2.5.3 or 2.5.4 have the same problem.

Right now I'm still using 2.5.2 which works fine, if i log out and click on
the logbook tab. I get the page which ask for the username and password. The
thing is I don't get returned to the username/password when I hit log out. I
arrive in the state you can see in the unlogged.jpg.
From here if can go into all the logbooks as long as I don't hit the
logbooks tab and worse I can access to all the config files.

Is there something really badly configured in my config file ? I guess it is
not supposed to work that way.

Thank you,

Alexandre

The elogd.cfg is attached in the previous message as attachement 3. Sorry it is a
little bit buried between pictures.
The reason I put the picture of the global elogd.cfg is to show that the not logged
user has access to elogd.cfg which is some kind of trouble...

Hi I tried to remove the cookies and it still did not ask for password under 2.5.4.
Has the password file format changed between 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 ?

Thank you, I misunderstood how the "Guest menu commands" worked I thought I had to specify
a limited set of commands to actually limit guest users.

Thanks again for your wonderful work on this program too.

Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel with an existing webserver and then I tested. The demo logbook loads fine and I see that elog created a folder for the logbook in /var/lib/elog/logbooks, which is the directory specified by default in the /etc/init.d/elog file.

Then I modified the /etc/elog.conf file, added the following lines in the global section (custompath is a local path) 

Resource dir = /<custompath>/elog/res
Logbook dir = /<custompath>/elog/logbooks

And I created a new logbook.

After restarting the elog service the second database is correctly created but both of them are still stored in  /var/lib/elog/logbooks so it seems the global configurations in the config file are overwritten.

  68873   Fri Dec 14 15:46:14 2018 Question Frank Baptistacaffeinejazz@gmail.comQuestionWindows3.1.2Logbook architecture and availability

I have a setting which makes ELOG a perfect solution, but there's a situation that I'm struggling to get my head around. We have 3 separate laboratories, each one containing a number of temperature chambers, which run almost constantly over a number of shifts. Each temperature chamber has it's own logbook (laptop). So far, pretty simple.
My dilemma is, our network goes down for maintenance/updates (more often than I'd like), but our operation cannot afford to stop during network interruptions.
With that said, I thought about whether I could run a "local" logbook on each laptop/chamber, and somehow mirror the local logbook to the main ELOG server.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this...do you have any recommendations?
