Grrr.  Forgetting to pick an icon means my message was blasted.

I have installed elog 2.7.8 and it is running.  When I connect to it and get a login window, I am always denied.  If I remove the passwords, then I can login with no password information.  I have tried both command line for setting passwords and directly in the elogd.cfg file.

Suggestions on what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ian

PS - are there RESTful interfaces to automate the generation of log entries via an HTTP POST or HTTP GET?

Which password scheme are you using? Is it Read passoword = ... or Password file = ...? If you use a password file (that's what most people do) you have to create yourself an account just as you did for this forum here. There is no other way to enter the encrypted password into the password file. Just follow "To start a new password file..." in the documentation.
