It appears to me that this is a really stupid problem: the article provides many links to sources, but they are just links, not "references". That does not count, since links could be something else than references.

I'll try to edit it and transform the list of external links into references to verify the text. Lets hope that this will suffice.

Okay: found three articles about applications of ELOG and put them under references. I took the liberty to submit the draft: it shows that they expect some month delay for a review. I have no idea if that was what they want, but it is worth a try.

If I understand it correctly I think it has to be submitted for review with the blue button on that page, just not sure if that should come from your side or someone else

I added some more references, that's about all I can do. Not sure if that is enough.

I have requested an undeletion of the article. The article was deleted  "PROD", which means that someone tagged it. And if noone removes the tag, it could be deleted.

I could revive the article. So in the future, One should have an eye on it and maybe update the current version of the software.

If there iy an paper on the elog, maybe it could be cited for more creditability.

It looks to me like only an author of an article can contradict a deletion. I did not find a single method to even comment on the deletion.
I am not an Wikipedia expert, can anyone suggest on how to push for the article to be restored? Or do we just write it again, until people stop deleting it?

Stefan Ritt wrote:

I agree. I ahead ;-) I think it is not a good idea if the ELOG author pushes on that, but better someone else.

Best,

Hello,

I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted in November 2021.
With the reason: "Poorly sourced article, and I was not able to find good sources myself."

I could access the old article through web.archive.org, but for the project it would be good, if the article got revived.

I do run elog under:

Usr = elog
Grp = elog

But that does not change the location of my certificates: they are in "/usr/local/elog/ssl".
My guess: you just copied the .pem file to the /ssl directory, but did not rename it to server.crt?
And of course you need to overwrite server.key as well.

Kind Regards
Andreas

Hi I'm here again,

According to my conf file I run elog under a specified user and group different from root. So I copied the .pem file I obtained from certbot in /etc/ssl as well as /urs/local/elog/ssl and ssl folder in the user directory (I will call it <user-dir>) but when I launch elog I receive the error that cannot initialize SSL because the old self signed certificate server.crt in <user-dir>/ssl is not found.

I wonder where in elog.cfg or elsewhere is written that <user-dir>/ssl/server.crt must be usedand how to fix it

Thanks

Hi Laurent,

thanks very much! Probably I've copied the certificate in the wrong directory. I'll try ASAP

Laurent Jean-Rigaud wrote:

Hi Giuseppe,

The new certificate files should be copy under ssl folder (/usr/local/elog/ssl or /usr/share/elog/ssl by example, closed to templates and script directories) in place of the embedded (autosigned) certificate files enclosed with ELOG source.

It seems that there is no parameter to set a custom path.

SSL = <0 | 1>
Turn on Secure Socket Layer transport. If SSL is on, one can connect via https://... to the elogd daemon. If the URL = directive is used, make sure to use https://... instead of http://... there. The ELOG distribution contains a simple self-signed certificate in the ssl subdirectory. One can replace this certificate and key with a real ceritficate to avoid browser pop-up windows warning about the self-signed certificate. The default for this option is 0.

 

 

Giuseppe Cucinotta wrote:

We obtained a certificate from let's encrypt in order to replace the self signed certificate provided with elog. We copied the new certificates replacing the older server.crt

The problem is that when restarted elog raises an error related to the fact it is looking for server.crt and it doesn't find it anymore.

I searched in elog config file in order to find a way to indicate the new certificate but I didn't find how to manage this issue.

Any suggestion?

 

 

 

 

  69674   Sat Jun 17 22:13:01 2023 Idea Andreas Luedekeandreas.luedeke@psi.chQuestionAll3.1.3Re: Nested commands in logbook

Atrributes can only be defined once in a logbook.
But you can select which attributes are shown with the commands:

  • Show Attributes = <list>
    Attributes present in this list are shown in the single entry page. Omitting attributes can make sense for attributes which are automatically derived from other attributes via the Change <attribute> command.
  • Show Attributes Edit = <list>
    The same as Show Attributes, but for the entry form.

Those can be redifined in conditional attribute clauses.

(See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)

Leonardo Tacconi wrote:

Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?

Hi All,
I just installed elog latest version. I can see that my chkeditor (HTML encoding) is pretty simplified with respect to the version i can see there. Why this ? For example, it does not offer the possibility to upload images.

Could you please help me ?


Thank you
Andrea

  69807   Mon Jul 22 16:17:55 2024 Entry Andréandre.althaus@tu-dortmund.deBug reportAll3.1.5HTTP headers should be parsed case insensitive

I'm trying to run elog behind haproxy, but get the error "Invalid Content-Length in header" on posting.

As stated in the manual, haproxy rewrites all headers to lower case.

elogd parses the content-length header case sensitive which is against the HTTP RFC. This might also apply to other headers that get parsed.

For now I'm using the workaround from the manual:

global
  h1-case-adjust content-length Content-Length
  h1-case-adjust content-type Content-Type

backend elog
  option h1-case-adjust-bogus-server
  server elog 127.0.0.1:8080

But as the manual states, this should not be  used as a permanent solution.

I have the same problem. I found a temporary solution: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69807

Tamas Gal wrote:

I put the ELOG service behind an Apache reverse proxy which is now sitting behind the HAProxy. It works like this, but it's just a workaround. I am pretty sure that ELOG has problems to communicate with HAProxy correctly and it seems that Apache is more forgiving. So that the chain HAProxy -> Apache -> ELOG and vice versa is working.

If anyone manages to figure out what's wrong, I am happy to get rid of the extra reverse proxy layer!

Tamas Gal wrote:

I am still struggling to get ELOG running behind a load balancer and hope to get some advice here. As already reported in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69542 I observed an infinite loop of redirects when prompted to log in and using a non-empty password file. Without a password, the service worked as expected. This was with version 3.1.3.

With the new version 3.1.4-3, I get another error: "Invalid Content-Length in header" when I click on "submit" of a new post. Viewing the logbooks works fine. The instance is currently live and running here: https://elog.test.km3net.de but I might change it anytime due to debugging etc.

This is a kind of difficult thing to debug (I spent the whole day and no progress). The only thing I've found was this post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/invalid-content-length/ba-p/3038724 where it seems that some responses are not RFC conform and were rejected in the load-balancer.

The load balancer I use is HAProxy, the same as in my old setup where I got the infinite redirects, and I can't find any setting which would work. To my understanding, the most basic setup should work just fine. The SSL termination is on the load-balancer side so ELOG doesn't even have to know anything about it. The configuration is below. I am running a single instance, so there is not even replication with session keep-alive via cookies or anything fancy.

I also want to mention that I am runnin around 30 different services behind the load balancer and none of them are having any issues with the SSL termination or the load-balancing itself, that's why assume that something in ELOG is either non-conform or buggy.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to use the same infrastructure for the ELOG service as for every other service (automatic certificate renewal via letsencrypt, load-balancing, easy movement to other nodes, SSL termination etc.), to minimise the complexity of our Docker Swarm system.

  904   Mon Feb 7 09:58:25 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux repository of elog configuration files

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,
AnandO.
