  1203   Mon Jun 20 04:29:57 2005 Cool Paul Paquettepaquettep@gmail.com Windows prevent CVS and XML exports
Hello Again,

I'm being asked to do the impossible to list the Assessing Dept Data but not letting people download the whole database. This way they can lookup the info the Town uses to assess their property. The Town’s Selectmen have stopped paying for the company who hosted the database and the software they used. Now I'm asked to do the same service in house with out funds and without resorces. Hence the question.

Thanks


Paul

How do I prevent Anonymous Users from exporting the Data when using the search funtion?

Thank You

By not allowing anonymous access at all. The CVS and XML exports do not contain more information than anonymous users can see on the web page, so there is no reason to prevent it. Anybody could view all pages anonymously (if guest access is allowed) and reconstruct the CVS data easily.

Hi All

I need to send mail through Elog. With Version 2.5.7 it seems to work only when less content is in the elog entry. But when I fill in a lot of content into one entry, it confirms the mail is sent but I dont receive the mail.

I thought it was a bug in 2.5.7, so I installed the new version 2.6-beta. With this version I am not even able to send any mail eventhough elog confirms it has been sent. Same is it case for 2.5.9.

Please let me know if there is a fix..

Thanks
Raj


This must have to do with your specific SMTP server. What you can do is to start elogd with the verbose flag like
elogd -v

then send an email entry and watch the communication between elogd and the SMTP server. There must be some kind of error message.

uh oh ... just maked some tests before posting ... "Find Menu text" does my job !!!?!?!!!! why "Find" in the name? it is displayed in the list view, not Find ... Am I completely out?


Well, the normal list view was not there from the beginning. Originally you always saw the last entry, and had to click on "Find", do a search and then see the listing. Only later this became the default view. So "Find Menu text" was there from the beginning, and some people used it. If I change it now to "List Menu text", guess how many people would complain that their config file doen not work anymore.

Well, maybe I should allow both options "Find menu text" and "List menu text", change it in the documentation, and in a year from now remove the "Find menu text".

The following appended after the base (!) URL results in a segmentation fault
?cmd=Activate&new_user_name=test1&new_full_name=Test1

It works fine, if a specific logbook is given. So
http://my.ho.st/?cmd=Activate&new_user_name=test1&new_full_name=Test1
is not OK, while
http://my.ho.st/myLogBook/?cmd=Activate&new_user_name=test1&new_full_name=Test1
is OK.


Thanks for that info. It helped me debugging things. The problem is that the "activation" URL does not contain a logbook if there is a global password file. I have never tried that so of course it crashes Crying

I tried to fix this and committed the changes to CVS. Can you try with that version?

This might be your problem. Try to temporarily remove the read and write password from you config file, then do the cloning, then put it back. Cloning works with a passowd file, but I haven't tested it with read/write passwords.

The cloning works in the current directory. So just go to /usr/local/elog and start "elogd -C ..." from there. Alternatively, copy your whole /usr/local/elog tree to the server manually. The "Synchronize" button then works again only with a password file. You need a "Mirror user = xxx" option in that case.
  1196   Fri Jun 17 20:30:53 2005 Question Gerfried Kumbartzkikum@physics.rutgers.eduQuestionLinux2.6.0Cloning
Elog is installed on a laptop (Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8) for quite a while. I like to have a "base" of that logbook on a server and keep it
in sync. Mirroring seem to be the perfect solution. For that I updated to elog v2.6.0 yesterday.

The server is an Alpha running Linux Redhat 7.1. I compiled from elog-latest.tar and installed elog in the 'same' locations as on the laptop.
Created a user elog and a group elog, put elogd.cfg, themes, logbooks ... in /usr/local/elog, owned by elog. Started the elogd, tested,
all seems to work. The elogd.cfg has a read and write passwd set. Any user can access the logbook, read and write after providing the proper user id and password.
Next I wanted to clone the logbooks from the laptop to the server. As superuser I can start elogd -v -C http://latop:8080, but get stuck right away with "Cannot contact elogd at http://laptop:8080/"
As user it works as follows:

Remote configuration successfully received.

Option "Mirror server = http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080" added to config file.
Logbook directory "logbooks" successfully created.
Created directory "demo"
Indexing logbook "demo" ... Found empty logbook "demo"
Created directory "tfexp"
Indexing logbook "tfexp" ... Found empty logbook "tfexp"

Retrieve remote logbook entries? [y]/n:

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/demo"...
ID1: Remote entry received

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/tfexp"...
Error accessing remote logbook

Cloning finished. Check elogd.cfg and start the server normally.

Allthough, tfexp contains a number of entries all owned by elog like the entry in demo.
Beside missing the real stuff everything ends up in the users home directory. I would like it in the general area (/usr/local/elog for instance).

The other option is to use synchronize after changing [global] from with in the browser. Start elogd, open the logbook and click on config,
enter a Mirror server = http://laptop:8080/
Clicking synchronize give "Error accessing remote logbook"

Again, the logbooks are on both machines in /usr/local/elog/logbooks (owner:group elog:elog). The tfexp in this case is passwd protected.
Any user can access the elogs in both machines, locally or remote. But, I'm unable to synchronize the two.
Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

Thank's Gerfried
