In version 2.6 the themes do not work right on Windows. 
The URL is fixed at whichever logbook that is selected (e.g. ELOG 2.5.9-4 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css"> & ELOG 2.6.0-1 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css">).

icon8.gif   Two different attributes with the same list, posted by deletoille on Wed Jan 17 09:20:17 2007 fiche_panne2.JPG
In this picture of my project, All the attributes included in the red circle are the same except the names of the attribute “Equipement Incriminé” and “Equipement impacté”.
“Equipement Incriminé” and “Equipement impacté” have the same list.

The displayed list for the both attributes is the multiple conditions result coming from the choice of “groupe incriminé or impacté, sous ensemble, selection, and localisation”.

So if I have to program the list twice, it will be twice bigger.


Do I need to program the same list twice for the two attributes or is there a simple command to say that the two precedent attributes are equal?

Thanks in advance

icon8.gif   Synchronization Problems, posted by Nicole Ackerman on Wed Sep 5 01:09:00 2007 
I'm currently running elog 2.6.5 on my (feisty ubuntu) laptop and desktop. I set up mirroring between the two which usually works, but occasionally I get an error (when sending from laptop to desktop) :

"Enty too long to display. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd."

When this happens my entry is shortened to 3 characters. This is frustrating as I have lost many important entries. I'm unsure why this is happening - they aren't the longest entries in my logbook (one was a one line linux command) and there doesn't seem to be anything "special" about the ones that do and do not sync. The last time I tried to sync I got this error on 3 entries and they appear to be corrupted - when I try to access them elogd stops responding.

On a presumably related note, every time I try to send an entry from my laptop to my desktop I get "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message", though the entry has appeared to sync properly. I don't think I have ever had a problem transmitting from my desktop to my laptop.

Currently the only mirroring option I have added to my config file in on my laptop which is the IP of my desktop as the Mirror server.

I'm unsure what else I could post to help troubleshoot this problem - is it just something I've done wrong or that could be fixed with a reinstall?

Thanks!

icon8.gif   elog crashing on startup, posted by Jeff Stoner on Fri Feb 15 22:24:38 2008 

I installed elog 2.7.2 rev 2041 into /data/elog on Redhat ES 4 Update 4. This is my initial elogd.cfg file:

[global]
port = 80
Resource dir = /data/elog/elog
Logbook dir = /data/elog/elog/logbooks
Logfile = /data/elog/elog/logs/access_log
Logging level = 2
Resolve host names = 0
Usr = nobody
Grp = nobody

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

and start elogd - all is right with the world, everything is working properly. I shut down elog and try to add more logbooks using this template:

[A-B]
Subdir = cr_a-b
Comment = Change requests for Customers A-B
Menu commands = New, Reply, Download, Find, Last day
List Menu commands = New, Find
Display mode = summary

I create 14 of them, one for every 2 letters of the English alphabet and 0-9. The logbook name and Subdir change appropriately. When I start elog, it stays up for about 30 seconds, then crashes. No messages are recorded in syslog nor in the logfile. The only thing that looks suspicious are a couple lines in syslog:

Feb 15 17:11:05 iadopsutil04p elogd[23761]: elogd 2.7.2 built Feb 14 2008, 20:55:38

Feb 15 17:11:05 iadopsutil04p elogd[23761]: Server listening on port 80 ...

This is obviously the child process responsible for the highlighted lines and it's coming from the cleanup function. Why it's getting called is beyond me.

Ideas?

icon8.gif   Elog crashing with "segfault" during file upload, posted by Jesse Wodin on Thu Jul 17 01:16:49 2008 

Hi there, I just compiled and installed elog on a machine running the newest Ubuntu server. Everything went fine - no problems. Running elog on it's own (no apache).  I moved over a bunch of logbooks from an older elog, which seemed to work. Now, elog seems to crash when people are uploading files. Here is a snip from my syslog, and you can see each time it crashes with "error 4."

I run elog as:

Usr = elog

Grp = elog

/usr/local/sbin/elog -p 8080 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd_exo.cfg -D

where elogd_exo is my config file. Nothing special in my config file.

icon8.gif   elogd dies after receiving second SIGHUP, posted by Kester Habermann on Tue Nov 11 16:45:04 2008 
elogd continues to run after a SIGHUP. If a second SIGHUP is received the daemon terminates.
This was observed on Solaris 10 (SPARC).
The documentation states that elogd should re-read configuration after receiving SIGHUP.
