Subject: Re: moving eLog to another computer 
  • you need to copy your logbooks into the "logbooks" directory.
  • you need to copy your elog.cfg logbook config file to the new elog folder and reference it at start-up (something like "elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg ...")

Some people modify other stuff (CSS, java scripts) but if you had you would know what you did.

If the old ELOG was a 2.x version and the new is 3.x, then on the first start-up all logbook data files are copied into sub-folders for each year.
This is only done (automatically) during the first start-up, afterwards you can not use a 2.x version anymore (you won't want that anyway).

Our Unix server died, so we decided to move our old eLog to the new server, running Mac OSX. Elog version is earlier then 2013, I can not say

I read that on OSX  eLog must be intalled through "make" command

if I need to install eLog first, how to add all old information later?
