Of course you have to start elogd after you copied all files over, but I presume you did that. The
password file itself does not need any conversion, it should work on both hosts fine. Cloning an elog logbook
(via the "-C <url>") flag, does copy the password file if you enter "yes" to the according question. Have you
checked the file permission of the password file? Maybe the user name elogd is running under has no read access
to it.


I reinstalled elog on the new server and ran the clone (via the "-C <url>"), wow that is really slick. But unfortunately my passwords and user data were not transfered. I did say 'Y' when prompted to transfer the password info.

I think my problem is that one server is running 2.5.9 (or 2.6.0 beta, unstable, Debian) and my new server is running 2.5.5.3 (stable, UBUNTU).

Are the password files not compatible between the 2 versions?

All my logbook entries appear to be there in full.

btw: I am back leveling to 2.5.5.3 because I lose my last column on every log book view.


I wanted to add that the elog.pwd file did transfer when I used the "elogd -C <url>" command, but the passwords and accounts were not recognized. Also I edited my elog.conf file to contain the absolute address of my elog.pwd file.

When pasting the URL for the registration of new users (with 'Self register = 3') elog
crashes with segmentation fault. I don't have the time currently to give you more
debuging information but maybe you can have a look the same. It crashes after
the user is registered. The Email is sent, too.


I cannot reproduce this problem either. The only difference I see is that I use thunderbird as my email client, where I don't have to copy/paste the activation URL into my browser, but just click on it. If maybe the copy/paste operation adds an additional CR/LF or so, that could be a problem. Can you check again? A stack trace of the crashed elogd would help as well.


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.

I tried to insert a row in the menu but it seems to totally ignore the command ...
both inserting a filename and simply typeing "Menu text = <b>PIPPO</b>" brings to a page with *no* "PIPPO" in the HTML source ...

is this a bug or another my misconfiguration???


uhm... I saw that this parameter makes the file to be included in the "entry" view...
Is there a global or "List Menu text" option? ... my goal is to add a JS calendar just at the left of the current "Show Last" button ... more generally I would like to be able to add custom icons, bottons or links to the menu..


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?

BTW:
there is a typo ("lanugae") at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html Smile
  1187   Wed Jun 8 10:45:18 2005 Question Kumarkumr.raj@gmail.comQuestionLinux2.6 betaUnable to send mails through elog
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

Emiliano Gabrielli wrote:
It seems that making a search in which one selects *only* a start date *and* a "last" number of days
does not works correctly ..
Elog infact simply ignores the start date, showing the last N-days entries ..
This is a bug IMHO, and prevents me to include a quick filter for user, making easy to select a particular year/week in a JS calendar and than using this date as the start date for the logbook ...

here is an example: http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?mode=threaded&reverse=1&npp=8&ma=6&da=14&ya=2004&last=7

If one specify *also* an "end date" the beaviour is correct..



uhm ... maybe I have realized ...

it's End Date to be used for this task... right??

If it is (as it seems) the search form is quite confusing .. as the "/ Last " select box it's just after the "start date" ...
