How do I enable SSL with port 443 in version ELOG V2.7.8-2294 and rename from localhost?

Server is running Windows 2008

We got http://servername:8080 to work and on the network just fine..

but everytime we try to change the port to 443 in global we cant get anything with https:// working 

port = 443

ssl = 1

url = https://servername

how do you customize the elog.exe or elogd for windows enviorment to listen on port 443 with specific hostname. please give an example.

Thanks...

Hi!

Tryed windows an linux version. On booth the "Register new User" dialog is not displaying a password line.
so what password is used for the new user? Further the user can't change his password, because he didn't know the old one.

And if an admin user trys to change the password of an other user, a error is displyed that the old password of the admin user is
wrong and nothing happens with the password of the non-admin user.

elog console (admin user awrzkrz changes the password of testuser1):

GET /demo/?cmd=Config&config=TestUser1&cfgpage=1&admin=1&cfg_user=TestUser1&active=1&new_user_name=TestUser1&new_full_name=TEST+User&new_user_email=test%40heaven.org&cmd=Change+password HTTP/1.1
Returned 1032 bytes
GET /demo/?config=TestUser1&newpwd=test1234&newpwd2=test1234 HTTP/1.1
Returned 20 bytes
GET /demo/?cmd=Change%20password&config=awrzkrz&fail=1 HTTP/1.1
Returned 1215 bytes
 

Thanks for help!

I recently ported an elog over to a new server running Ubuntu 20.10. Everything is working okay, except sometimes I get a strange unformatted appearance when I go to the elog page (see attachment). The happening of this seems random. For example, yesterday, when I started the elogd daemon everything looked fine, but when I log in today I get the unformatted appearance. Also, yesterday when I was setting things up, sometimes certain logbooks would have the formatting issue, and I could make this go away with a kill...restart cycle of elogd.

I downloaded the source code from here: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html, selecting the elog-latest.tar.gz file.

I have tried viewing the elog on 3 different browsers (firefox, IE, Edge), result is the same every time.

Any thoughts about what the problem is?

For the last couple of months we are getting a random elogd crash once in a while we are getting something like the following in the middle of the night

> Sep 29 20:45:07 elog kernel: server_name686835]: segfault at 7ffd7f5a0000 ip 00007fceaeabbf06 sp 00007ffd7f577348 error 6 in libc-2.28.so[7fceaea8a000+1bc000]

I'm going to try and see if it will leave a coredump file, just thought I would ask if anyone else had seen this before?

Thanks,
Matt

I have an issue where not all users are able to log into their sessions and they are still settling on the login page

Our elog instance (elogd 3.1.4 built Jan 13 2021, 20:44:20 revision ce2a48e9) has been running for years without any problems.

We have a new user who consistently crashes the elog:

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before submitting, it doesn't let me re-save the draft. My workaround is to copy all text before I submit, so if it ignores whatever I entered after the last saved version, I can edit it and paste it back in. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to fix this problem?

Thanks!
