icon1.gif   Error report while submitting the entry, posted by harish amin on Mon Nov 24 18:29:34 2014 Elog_error.JPGerror.txt

 Dear Stefan,

I am having a log book with the 5 logbooks. All other books are working fine except only one, every time while submitting the entry I am getting a error message.

I have attached the screen shot along with the error log file.

Please help me in solving this bug.

Regards

Harish Amin 

icon4.gif   Error messages while creating thumbnails, posted by Yoshio Imai on Wed Jul 9 19:57:50 2008 
Hi again!

I have recently noticed that elog often creates large accumulations of the following group of error messages in our syslog:
Jul  9 19:05:00 elogd[27009]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:00 elogd[27009]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:02 elogd[27009]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul  9 19:05:02 elogd[27009]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27013]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27016]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:05 elogd[27016]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul  9 19:05:06 elogd[27016]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul  9 19:05:06 elogd[27016]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied

I have further found out that these coincide with the generation of attachment thumbnails (i.e. every time a user displays an entry generated before the advent of ImageMagick support for the first time, and every time the preview pictures are scaled/rotated while editing an entry).

The PID-file is indeed owned by the root user and not elog, but is correctly cleaned up at termination of the elog server.
Jul  9 19:47:08 elogd[27335]: elogd server aborted.

Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: elogd 2.7.3 built Apr 18 2008, 14:08:31 
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: revision 2104
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Falling back to default group "elog"
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Falling back to default user "elog"
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27360]: Cannot remove pidfile "/var/run/elogd.pid" ; Permission denied
Jul  9 19:47:16 elogd[27359]: ImageMagick detected

Does this point at some sort of problem?


Another question concerning the thumbnails of multi-page PDF-files: would it make sense to restrict the thumbnail generation to the first page? Since this is the title page, which in most cases is the only relevant page (really reading the file from the thumbnails is usually not possible anyway), this could help keep the attachment display less crowded ...


Thanks for the work and continuing support!

Yoshio

icon5.gif   Error Sending Email, posted by Ibrahim Genc on Thu Oct 12 16:22:40 2006 
I've set up all e-mail configuration but I get error message after submitting a message

verbose output is as follows: every parameter I used works in outlook express.

Another question is; Can I change the port number of the smtp server? Some servers use another port than 25.

Thanks so much.

icon5.gif   Error Message in "Demo of database-like elog", posted by mike cianci on Thu Apr 9 12:50:03 2009 

I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

icon13.gif   Error Message During Uploads, posted by Kevin O'Sullivan on Mon Oct 13 17:02:17 2008 

We've been having toruble with uploads not working and I notice that every time someone uploads to our elog the same error message appears in /var/log/syslog:

Cannot restore original GID/UID.

How can I fix thsi error? Or, perhaps more importantly, could it cause elog to "lock up" (note, it doesn't crash)?

I'm runing elog on Ubuntu kernel version 2.6.24-server.

icon4.gif   Error 554 MailTransferAgentServer ESMTP not accepting messages, posted by Ron Beekman on Mon Dec 10 16:28:27 2012 

Hello,

We use ELOG for many years and enjoy it's functions every day!

Lately, we see errors whenever we add an entry in elog: 554 MailTransferAgentServer ESMTP not accepting messages

We see this from various ELOG servers. Other (non ELOG) servers using the same MailTransferAgentServer do not heve this error.

We are able to send mail messages from the ELOG machines manually via TELNET. So, from a functional point of view, all works well.

We had this error in the past and found out that the cause of this error lies in (network) time-outs.

Questions:
1) Has anyone seen this error before?
2) Is it possible to increase the timeout value used by ELOG?
3) Are the emails that could not be sent stored in a queue/resent later or are they lost?
4) is there a fix?

Any replies are highly appreciated!

T I A !
