In the elogd.cfg file, you cannot have multi-line options. Either you put everything on a single line (I guess there is also some limit at a few hundred characters) or you call a batch file which then calls the mysql command. 

 Thanks!

Hi,

after setting

Date format = %Y-%m-%e

in elogd.cfg,

elogd hangs and must be restarted manually. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Steve

 I found my mistake:It must be

Date format = %Y-%m-%d

Is there any documentation I can go through that explains how to remove the Certificate Error I am getting as shown in the attachment.  I have tried creating my own certificate and putting it in the elog ssl folder but that just prevented the elog service from starting.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

How did you create the certificate?
Are you running eLog on a server with more than one host name (CNAME entries) and are you pointing to your eLog
via one of that aliases?

Certificates that work with an Apache 1 Web server do work with eLog, too.

The certificate that is on there right now is the one that gets created when you install elogs.  I have tried 
creating one with a windows server 2008 box with the CA role installed.  The certificate is created without issue 
and I can install it on the server but when I try to restart the elog service it wont start until I put the 
original server.crt and server.key file back into the ssl directory.  

I have DNS on the machine but only have one CNAME pointing to the elog server.

I don't know a lot about certificates so sorry if this doesn't help out much.

I don't know anything about Windows server CA, but eLog is very strict in the syntax of the CERTs.
I had to learn it the hard way when installing a chain CERT.

For server.crt and server.key it MUST NOT be a chain cert. Therefor you have to use chain.crt

Are the generated CERTs ASCII (with only one -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- in
server.crt 
and -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- in server.key)?

So the eLog generated keys should look like..
