Recently I have had problems with ELOG not accepting the certificates (in this case from https://letsencrypt.org/) probably due to the old version of the SSL library of the binary distribution for Windows.
I have tried to follow the instructions to set up ELOG to work with Apache but they are probably old.
I have a simple solution for the Apache installation of XAMPP, the example is for two separate logbooks using each its own ELOG service on the same server:

1. I have set up the two ELOG to run as http://my.server.example.com:8080/ and as http://my.server.example.com:8081/

2. in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf I have enabled the following (I am not sure if all the modules are really needed but this works for me):

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so

3. still in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf, at the very end of the file I added the following:

ProxyRequests off

Redirect permanent /app1 https://my.server.example.com/app1/
ProxyPass /app1/ http://my.server.example.com:8080/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://my.server.example.com:8080 /app1

Redirect permanent /app2 https://my.server.example.com/app2/
ProxyPass /app2/ http://my.server.example.com:8081/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://my.server.example.com:8081 /app2

This way I can now connect to the two ELOG using https://my.server.example.com/app1/ and https://my.server.example.com/app2/ without troubles and no additional setting to either the configuration files of ELOG nor any need for virtual hosts, ...

I hope this might be of use.

We are trying to use ELog on Windows XP with Protection on individual log 
book and we unable to login after creating users even if we give correct 
user name and password login screen reappears. We are able to log in to the 
Elog when we use windows 98 Client we are running Elog on Windows XP and 
without password protection on logbook it is working fine with windows 98.

For win xp clients we are using winxp sp 1, ie 6.1 using a proxy server

Mr. Stefan

We tried installing elog on another pc with almost the same configuration and are 
able to run it without any problems now.

Hi,

We've made changes in our network and now we have to use port 587 instead of port 25, how can i edit that parameter?

Thanks

I Stefan, it works with the 587 port.
