but something happened to the css.
i'm getting white background and no icons anywhere.

so tried to install in a clean location as it comes out of the box with no changes. get white background, no colour.

tried moving css files, graphic files, etc, around - nothing.

emptied bowser caches (IE and Opera)
deleted appropriate cookies
stop and started many time.

and still at the end of the day - i get a white background only, no colour what so ever.

also get page not found when clicking on a row to edit entry.
example: http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/1
is record #1 in demo table, elog can't display it when i click on it in the list window.

any ideas?


That's strange. Can you check if elog finds it's own host properly? The CSS file should be under

http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/default.css

and if you look at the HTML source of you standard page you should see something like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/demo/default.css">

Could it be that elog places something else than "dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us" as the host name? If so, you could override this with following statement in elogd.cfg:

URL = http://dhsdlj159941.hr.state.or.us/

That should also fix your other problem.


OK tried all that and nothing. html source reads like it should.

I can see the discussion/forum here site as it should be

I updated a working setup from 2.54 to 2.60.beta3 and I get the white background with no colours on the restart of Elogd. Going back to 2.54 brought back the colours.
this is the source <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ISE-DEVEL1-OLD/default.css">.
Works in 2.54, does not seem to work in 2.60beta3

I've tried coping the default.css file to everyplace i could think of and then a few more places. Wink
This has happened on NT 4 server, 2000 server, and XP client machines. Brand new installs (server never saw elog before), upgrades in place, etc, etc, etc. Wish we could run linux in the shop.

Tried in the cfg file:
Resource dir = c:\e-log
Logbook dir = c:\e-log\logbooks
Theme = default
CSS = default.css


This is so strange.
Any ideas on where to go in trouble shooting this?


think I figured it out- had to make explict most of the default settings: resource, logbook, url, theme, css and so on.

so this is done.
