I've attempted to move a logbook from an old elog installation to a new one on another system. The version of elog is the same (2.6.1) in both. Both systems have the same name and the logbooks are and installation are going in the same place. So all paths are identical. Also, for the new installation, I've simply recompiled the same sources used to install the original one. The only difference is an upgrade in the OS.

 

I've rsync'd the directory and contents from the old installation to the logbooks/ directory for the new one. I then over-wrote the standard config file with the new one. I then started elogd in the new place.

 

What I find is 

 

a) The default entry from the demo logbook is inserted into my logbook. This I can live with but it was unexpected.

b) The dates for all my entries as shown in my browser have years starting in 1946, rather than 2006. This is particularly odd since all of the actual log files have the correct dates. 

c) The numbering of entries has been reset to 1.

 

 

Can anyone explain what I've done to mucky this up and how to fix it?

 

Thanks in advance,
