 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Windows | Latest | Re: Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server? |
I admit that I'm not sure if I understood the question. It is quite some work to do the opposite, to run elog behind an Apache Web Server.
But if you just install ELOG out of the box it will always run without an Apache Web Server. You don't need to add anything in the config file for that.

Hi All,
Can I host elog in the web (internet) under windows platform (elogd.exe only) without Apache Web Server? If possible, what syntax should I add in the configuration file? Appreciate feedback. Thanks.
Cheers,
Raymund

 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.1 | Re: entry does not appear in list while it is being edited |
Hi Devin,
this is the intended bevaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.
Only a submitted entry should be visible to the world.
If you would have played a little bit longer, you would have found out yourself how you'll get access again to this so-called "draft" entry after closing the browser window:
as soon as you attempt to create - as the same user - an new entry, you'll be asked if you want to continue editing your old draft entry instead.
I've attached a screenshot of this "pending draft" menu, as it has been shown for this entry before I've submitted it.
Kind Regards, Andreas
PS: You gave a very clear "failure" description: what you did, what you expected to happen and what you've observed what happened instead. Well done: that deserves a swift answer!

When an entry is being edited, it does not appear in the list once it's been autosaved or the editor manually clicks on "Save." This has been reproduced in the "Linux Demo" forum on this site, as well as on a clean installation of the 3.1.1 binary on EL6.
It would be great if there was a configuraiton option to control this, but I haven't found it yet. To reproduce:
- edit an existing entry
- click on "Save"
- view the list for that logbook, and the entry will be hidden until you click "Submit"
Obviously this becomes a problem when a user edits an entry, but navigates away from the browser window before submitting the changes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin

Can't help you with that, and I think it is the wrong forum to ask that question.
You'll need a web service provider that will allow you to run your own services.
And then it'll either require some skills in host administration or a full host service by the provider.
Cheers, Andreas

Thanks Andreas and Stefan,
Since I'm not good in setting up webserver, do you know a web hosting company that can I use to integrate elog so that i can access my elog publicly same as you are using here? Thanks.
BR,

If your server would run on Linux, then the configuration below would just do what you've asked for:
Attributes = X
List change X = $shell(if [ -z "$X" ] ;then echo "";else echo "X";fi)
But since shell scripting is operating system dependent, you'll need to figure out yourself how to do it in Windows.
Cheers

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Mac OSX | elog-3.1.0 | Re: New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/" |
You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.
Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Mac OSX | elog-3.1.0 | Re: New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/" |
The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.
But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Info | All | ELOG V3.1.1-3f3 | Re: Find empty attributes |
It is possible for normal string attributes: the regular expression pattern "^$" can be used to search for an empty string.
E.g. in this Forum "ELOG Version" is a required attribute, and should never be empty. But if you search for:
you'll find a couple of entries from a time where it apparently wasn't a required attribute.

Want to use the find function from ELOG to search for empty fields ( Attributes that are not defined )
How to do that ?
Could not find it in the Forum.

I'm just guessing, but you could try to disable the "save drafts" feature and see if the behaviour changes:
Save drafts = 0
If that is the case then Stefan will know where to look
