Is there a way of having multiple copies of elog running on one windows 2003 server? different ports?

I need to access 2 different elogd.cfg files.

 It's probably not of much help, but for a short time I ran two elog daemons on the same linux box, using different ports.  It was thus able to run with two separate elogd.cfg files.   This is linux, and heavily biased to my eccentric way of running this linux box, but started them as:

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8080 -c /home/logbooks1/elogd1.cfg -d /home/logbooks1

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8081 -c /home/logbooks2/elogd2.cfg -d /home/logbooks2

Do note that as I was the only user on that linux box, I didn't have login etc.

However, I was soon asked questions by Andreas as to how I found this running, as he had encountered problems with an earlier version.  To be honest, that stopped me experimenting too far with this at that point, as well as a coincidental upgrading of my hardware.

But I was doing this *not* because I had to run two separate elogd.cfg files, but other reasons which meant splitting into two at that time vastly improved the performance of elog on the linux box at that time.  So while I didn't actually enounter any problems in doing so, I only have limited experience - and, of course, absolutely none on running even one [windows equivalent of a daemon] on Windows.

I am assuming here you have good reason for two separate elogd.cfg files, rather than just wanting to run two separate logbooks - guessing here, but one set public (no login) and one set private (with login)?

 

 

 I need to do this because there are 2 different groups that each have 6 or 7 different logbooks in their elogd.cfg files.  (and they can't access each others log books)

Currently the first group  accesses elog as http:elog.com:8080.  The elogd windows service executes "C:\Program FilesELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Program Files\ELOG\elogd.cfg"  

From what I can tell, whats needed is either some way to get the windows service to run a different config file or there needs to be a way of creating a second elog windows service that points to a different elogd.cfg file. Is there some way of doing this?

Have you checked the option "Top groups", which was made especially for that case? You can create several independent sets of logbooks not seeing each other. 

 I will check out the "Top Groups". But another question, the documentation says "Prior to ELOG version 2.4.1, one had to run two elogd servers in parallel, listening under different ports." ... how do you set this up?
