This is due to a change we had to do in the redirection of the pages. If you 
submit a page, the result is a redirection using the HTTP 
statement "Location: ..." inside the header. While this was a relative link 
in the previous versions, we changed this into an absolute link, which then 
agrees with the standard. But since elgod does not know if it runs 
under "http:" or "https:", you have now to add the line

URL = https://your.server:port

into elogd.cfg. I will add this note into the documentation.
