Yes, that did it:  Adding the URL to the config file was the key.

Thanks!

You did not specify which version of elog you were using. There was recently an update which uses a new format in the password file. When you start this the first time, the program should convert automatically from the old format to the new format and thus increasing security. If this does not work for some reason, so can do password recovery using the "Forgot password?" link in the login page. 

Ok I got the password file to finally work.  Once I created a blank 
passwd.txt I get the self register page to appear and create the account.  

Next problem.  Once I'm logged in, and I click logoout, I get an error 
saying 
the logout command now allowed ???  Same holds true for the config option 
while logged in.
