I'm running elog 2.9.2 on a Red Hat 6.3 server. This installation has been running for some time on a Solaris server, and was recently moved to the RHEL server.

When a user tries to upload a .bmp attachment, the upload never completes, eventually timing out with a proxy error. At that point, the elogd process stops responding to requests and needs to be restarted. Nothing is in the log file other than a "Listening" message when elogd starts up. Png and pdf attachments seem to work fine. I was able to convert an image from .bmp to .png and upload, but that's not practical for my user.

ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 is installed on the server. Everything else seems to be working normally.

Is this a known problem, or have I missed something that needs to be installed on the RHEL server?

 Hi David,

I've just tested it on my server running ELOG V2.9.0-2414, Scientific Linux 5.7 (RHEL 5.?) with ImageMagick 6.2.8: the attachment is uploaded but no preview is generated. No problem with the server.

What was the behaviour of your Solaris system? Did it upload? Did it create a preview?

BMP files are - in my experience - often very large. Could it be a file size problem? Did you try with a small BMP image?

Kind Regards
Andreas

 Hi Andreas,

Bmp attachments worked fine on the Solaris server. Was running 2.9.2 with ImageMagick 5.5.7.

 

I don't think it's a file size issue, the image I'm testing with is only about 3 MB.

I just updated to the latest official release (V3.1.0-2411f95) and have this problem:

The Time Stamp button pastes the logbook name when "Time format" is not specified in elogd.cfg, and when it is set to "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M", it adds the string "5/28/."

My users are loving the new functionality added in 3.1!

This is what I've been able to figure out, in terms of the elogd.cfg file:

LDAP server = server.domain:389
LDAP userbase = ou=people,o=domain.com,dc=domain,dc=com
LDAP login attribute = uid
LDAP register = 0

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it, but I just can't find it.

Additional info:

"Time format = %Y" results in "2015" being pasted into the edit window when I hit the "time stamp" button.

"Time format = %m/%Y" results in the string "06/2015"

"TIme format = %m/%d/%Y" results in the string "06/04"

"Time format = %m/%d %H" results in the string "06/04 "

The "Syntax of elogd.cfg" help file doesn't seem to reflect some of these features... it took me a while to find the settings for LDAP authentication. Am I just missing some settings for these features?

Andreas,

I too was able to track the problem down to the "gettimedate" function in elogd.c. It looks like the code is using a variable named "str" for several different purposes. I haven't had a chance to do any testing, but my suspsicion is that the size of the dynamically allocated variable is ending up too small for the time stamp string, so it gets truncated.

 

Your point about the topic title is a good one - I'll split this into separate issues, thanks!

Andreas Luedeke wrote:
I can confirm that there is currently a problem with the ckeditor "Insert Timestamp" button.
It apparently calls javascript code in ckeditor/plugins/timestamp/plugin.js
to catch a string from the URL "../../?cmd=gettimedate"
(I think this is one too many "../", but anyway). if you try this for the Forum:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?cmd=gettimedate
it returns the wrong string. It is "Forum" instead of the date.

PS to David: The subject "Three problems ..." is not giving any indication what it is about. I would find it better in this case to post three entries to the Forum, each with a striking title :-)

Auto-saving does not seem to be working. In the config file, I have the following:

Save drafts = 1
Autosave = 10


but I never see the "auto saving" message or get any other indication that the feature is working.

Am I missing something?

Andreas,

I am running the latest version of the elogd source RPM that I could find - ELOG V3.1.0-2411f95 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago), with kernel level 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64. I can try grabbing the latest source code from Git and try building that. There are a couple other fixes I'd like to apply anyway. Thanks!

As you've pointed out, for the very same browsers D&D works with the Forum, and that is ELOG 3.1.0.
Hence I can only conclude that it is neither a browser, nor an ELOG issue, but a problem of your local installation. Maybe you try with a fresh and clean installation first? What Linux are you using, by the way?
Or you've picked by bad luck a 3.1.0 version where D&D did really not work. But I cannot tell, since you did not specify the git revision in the ELOG version (it is possible now ;-)
Cheers
Andreas
