I tried again and confirm the version number. I never got this pannel saying that my request will be processed by an adminstrator. Maybe the installation was incomplete? Is this pannel outside the standard src files?  I receive the mail as administrator, but the accout is already valid BEFORE I validate it.

This was working in previous versions, i.e. the entry was not created at all. And login wasn't possible.

We went back to 2.8.0 as the server is regularly crashing with 2.9.0 and we have to keep it alive for our running experiment. We are trying to isolate and reproduce the problem...

Try to use the simple config file, and see what happens there. Maybe it's a config option you use differently in the experiment. If you identify the config option which triggers the problem, I can probably reproduce it and fix it. Concerning crashes of 2.9.0: We have it running stably for our experiments, that's why I released it. But there are major changes since 2.8.0, mainly the Kerberos authentification (actually people from CERN asked for that). So it could be that in your case there are problems I don't see. In that case you have to test with which options in the config file the problems start. If elogd crashes, a stack dump would maybe also be helpful for me.

 Dear Stefan, after a long time I managed to get a test setup. The line that creates the misbehaviour is

Guest Menu Commands      = List, Find, Login, Help

which seems inocuous! But with this line a user with inactive account can login without validation. Without this line I get also the proper web page indicating that the account has to be activated when I register as new user.

Another little annoyance: When a user is prevented from login ("The account is currently deactivated") there is NO WAY to login, as any action with Elog tries to use the (non activated) username and password. I can't get back the login page!

Thanks

Great. This this description I could reproduce the error and fix it. The fix is in SVN revision 2414.

Cheers, Stefan.

 If you could also obtain the display of the message "Your request has been forwarded to the administrator.You will be notified by email upon activation of your new account." when a new user apply in the presence of the Guest Menu commands, that would be perfect. Cheers

icon4.gif   elogd crashes when running mirror cron with SSL and KRB5, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon May 30 12:28:53 2011 
When I run a mirror server and both logbooks using SSL/KRB5 then the cron job causes a segmentation fault.

I haven't tried to check it with a simple configuration yet.
My set-up: two elogd on same server, one running "german" on port 444, the other "english" on port 445.
Both are behind an apache webserver configured reverse proxy, to hide the ports for external access.
I'll try to reproduce the fault with a "minimal configuration" soon and report again.

icon1.gif   Find page resets quick filters if fields with user defined (drop-down)lists are selected., posted by Peter de Mol on Tue May 31 13:48:41 2011 elog.png

 Hi Stefan,

First : Compliments with your fine application !

The issue : A user wants to search the database. He selects one of the quick filters (e.g. "Show Last / Month"). Next he fills in the form and as long as text boxes are used there is no problem. But when he chooses a value from a populated drop-down list, the quick filter disappears. Other way round (first drop-down list and then the quick filter) no problem.

 

Kind regards,

 

Peter de Mol

Since you used the -a switch for ls, the current directory '.' i.e. work/ is included in the list. I have the same kind of output. No worries.

Are you experiencing problems with ELOG?
