I moved all my log books, my /etc/elog.conf, and /usr/share/elog/elog.pwd file. Did I miss anything?
The Logbooks come up fine on the eLog list, but when I try to access them I get invalid user name...
Do I have to do some sort of conversion to move the pwd file from one server to another?
Or should I try using the sync command for the move? does sync also move the pwd file?? |
Of course you have to start elogd after you copied all files over, but I presume you did that. The
password file itself does not need any conversion, it should work on both hosts fine. Cloning an elog logbook
(via the "-C <url>") flag, does copy the password file if you enter "yes" to the according question. Have you
checked the file permission of the password file? Maybe the user name elogd is running under has no read access
to it. |

I reinstalled elog on the new server and ran the clone (via the "-C <url>"), wow that is really slick. But unfortunately my passwords and user data were not transfered. I did say 'Y' when prompted to transfer the password info.
I think my problem is that one server is running 2.5.9 (or 2.6.0 beta, unstable, Debian) and my new server is running 2.5.5.3 (stable, UBUNTU).
Are the password files not compatible between the 2 versions?
All my logbook entries appear to be there in full.
btw: I am back leveling to 2.5.5.3 because I lose my last column on every log book view. |
