Hello,
I have followed the very simple steps on the Download page for checking out and compiling from GIT. That works perfect and there is no issue.
The problem I have is-- it is not clear to me where to put the 'elog' dir that I have after I 'make' and 'make install'. Or, is there an installer script afterwards that I run? I'm installing on Debian 7 and trying to upgrade from 2.5.2 (which was installed using apt-get.)

Hi Ryan,
as far as I remember the Debian package is not supported any more. The "make install" assumes Red-hat style installation directories (you can see it in elog/Makefile, all the installation directories are installed there).
I have no idea where Debian is supposed to install the binaries. But you should be able to use GNU "locate" to find the old files: "locate elog" and "locate elogd" should tell you where the old binaries had been installed.
Kind Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Thank you so much for the reply and info; Much appreciated! I turned up a CentOS 6 VM and the installation, using the RPM's provided on the 'downloads' page here, worked perfectly and was very straight-forward and easy.
The D/L page includes the Debian repositories (which is how I installed on Debian in the first place) but only installed v2.5.2. I needed to get to the newest version (ELOG V2.9.2-2455) so I can setup authentication and SSH. (And also so that when I am reading the manuals and documentation online, provided at this site, that is makes sense to the version I am running.) I also want to add that it seems that I am able to bring over my older 2.5.2 logbooks to 2.9.2 without any problem. To do that, I just rsync'd the logbooks from old to new. They seem to work just fine under the newest version.
I'm good to go. Anyone looking for an easy deployment of ELOG, especially in a production environment, I can attest that the RPM's provided here make it very simple to deploy on Cent6.
Thanks! |
