What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?

For example,

[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

I no longer get an error message when I try to send an email (I get the "email sent" message) but the email never arrives.

Thank you (in advance) for any help.

My elog.log looks like:

  67182   Fri Feb 10 11:54:35 2012 Entry Olaf Kastenolaf.kasten@deutschebahn.comBug reportLinux | Windows2.9.0ssl problems

 Hi there,

I have a connection problem with an actual elog installation. Many Browsers like as Chrome, Firefox and IE don't  connect to the elog server with ssl = 1 in elogd.cfg. 

I tested with Firefox 3.6 and IE 7 installations and there are no problems.

I guess it's a bug. Does someone have a suggestion to solve that problem?

Thx. Olaf

  69628   Wed Jan 25 17:41:30 2023 Question Giuseppe Cucinottagiuseppe.cucinotta@unifi.itQuestionLinux3.1.3ssl certificate

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?

In a configuration with elog running (8080) under Apache (80) [as explained in admin guide], what is the syntax for tunnelling in with ssh, of both the ssh command and the browser locator?

  619   Tue Jul 27 18:33:52 2004 Warning Fred Hooperfhooper@sushisoft.comBug fixLinux2.5.3speeding up elog : gcc compile optimizations
Elog is a great program, but it can be slow.

I noticed that the gcc compiler options in the tarball Makefile were not
conducive to speed.  There, I tried changing the gcc options to:

CFLAGS = -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall

for version 2.5.3, the compile worked, and the program appears to work as
normal, but a bit faster.   I have not benchmarked it, but I think it should
offer a nominal increase in speed.

In particular, I removed the "-g" profiling option, which is not needed for
production code, and can be safely removed. In addition, I put in slightly
aggressive optimization settings, so if this doesn't work for you, you can
first try removing the -f setting, and then backing off the optimization to -O2.

Other may want to post other settings that work for them.
  450   Wed Nov 12 12:25:44 2003 Warning Heiko Scheith.scheit@mpi-hd.mpg.deBug fixLinux2.3.9speed is very slow if logbook contains many entries
This is not really a bug, but elogd was getting really slow with our
logbook.  It took about 4 1/2 seconds just to get the default page in
threaded mode with 15 entries.  The logbook has in total about 2000
entries, though.

After playing around with the compiler option '-gp' and gprof the
problem was found: loc() is called about 18000 times per logbook
access!  (Attached you can find the gprof output.  There might be
other places where to save time: e.g. getcfg().)  The function loc()
calls stat every time to check if the language file was updated and
this takes a long time especially over NFS.

The quick solution for me was to just replace loc() with 'char
*loc(char *orig) {return orig;}'.  Therefore, I cannot use the
localization that I used anymore, which is not a big problem at the
moment.  After that the time to download the default page was only
0.16 s; almost a factor of 30 faster!

I would suggest to only read the language file (AND also the config
file!) once upon startup.  After changing things one has to restart
elogd, which is not so nice, but the long delay is not acceptable.
Another option not to restart elogd is to make elogd respond to a
signal (e.g. kill -HUP) to reread the config and language files.
  119   Fri Aug 16 15:00:21 2002 Question eric wootenwootene@verizon.netQuestion  specify attribute type as a number or date format?
any way to specify that a particular option be in a date format or even 
the ability to specifiy the category must be of a particular format:
-must be a number 
-must be a date
-must be alpha
-must be certain length
