    I found a bug with LogView today with the help of the CPanel folks. It seem at least in the latest log view it is not showing the login user name in the maillog files for any connection login

    Jul 11 00:33:28 centos63 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN,

    CPanel support says it looks like its having an issue with data enclosed in pointy brackets (<>).

    Any idea how to get in touch with the log view folks. I have tried in the past with no response so I thought I would bring it here.

    Not sure if its intended to be that way for security purposes or not but I vaguely remember it not doing this a few versions back.

    An email for the author is on top of the Logview Information page. (Blue button at top, WHM interface)

    I've recently emailed him myself, issues with the latest version here. No word back yet though.

    No. But I do have an email out to the author of the script concerning this exact topic. I uninstalled it a couple times, reinstalled it and only have two listings for it now. I'm still using it and ignoring the issue waiting on him to release an update to sort this all out for us.


    HTH!

    Re: Error updating LogView

    Still working on this, not sure why it shows twice though.. really strange... 4 out of 5 installs show only once.

    Please try the following commands:

    Code:
    # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/show_appconfig
    Does LogView show twice?

    If it does not, run the following commands:
    Code:
    # rm -fv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi
# rm -rfv /etc/logview*
    If the above does show twice:

    Code:
    # rm -fv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_appconfig /var/cpanel/apps/lview.conf
# rm -fv /var/cpanel/apps/lview.conf
# rm -rfv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/logview
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update_appconfig_apps
    This should clean LogView from your server and allow a clean install

    Greetings.
    Yes. Also, in AppConfig (WHM » Development » Apps Managed by AppConfig). Under the Origin column there, these are the only differences, one is lview.conf the other is LogView.conf

    End result is the same. Two instances of Logview are showing under Plugins, both links work. Also the lview.conf and LogView.conf can be found listed under the Origin column in AppConfig.

    Cleaned out all traces of logview. Fresh install, I'm still seeing two.

    Inside /var/cpanel/apps/

    LogView.conf 596 21-Jul-2013 16:46:18
    lview.conf 596 21-Jul-2013 16:46:17

    Note the date on these identical files. The installer is broken I guess.

    If the above does show twice:

    Code:
    # rm -fv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_appconfig /var/cpanel/apps/lview.conf
# rm -fv /var/cpanel/apps/lview.conf
# rm -rfv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/logview
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update_appconfig_apps
    This should clean LogView from your server and allow a clean install[/QUOTE]

    That worked for me! Thanks

    Re: Error updating LogView

    Appear to be 2 typos in the install script:

    MIRROR="http://http://www.bitshout.com/logview/"

    logviewUrlFile="http://http://www.bitshout.com/logview/logview-current.tar.gz"

    Otherwise runs and installs okay.

    Re: Error updating LogView

    It's OK, all you need to do is to correct line 9 and remove the double http:// , from
    Code:
    logviewUrlFile="http://http://www.bitshout.com/logview/logview-current.tar.gz"
    to
    Code:
    logviewUrlFile="http://www.bitshout.com/logview/logview-current.tar.gz"

    Re: Error updating LogView

    Thank you everyone for the information!

    I was unable to run logview after installing it from https://www.xisn.com/logview/logview-install

    I received errors like these:
    Code:
    No response from subprocess (/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi): The subprocess exited with status 2 (ENOENT).

No response from subprocess (/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi): The subprocess exited with status 255

    So I uninstalled it like this:
    Code:
    rm -fv /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_lview.cgi
rm -rfv /etc/lview*
    And then installed it like this:
    Code:
    wget http://www.bitshout.com/logview/logview-install
chmod +x logview-install
    Then edited lines 7 and 9 to remove the duplicate "http://", and finally installed it:
    Code:
    vi logview-install
./logview-install
    And it works!
