Is there a way of having multiple copies of elog running on one windows 2003 server? different ports?

I need to access 2 different elogd.cfg files.

 It's probably not of much help, but for a short time I ran two elog daemons on the same linux box, using different ports.  It was thus able to run with two separate elogd.cfg files.   This is linux, and heavily biased to my eccentric way of running this linux box, but started them as:

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8080 -c /home/logbooks1/elogd1.cfg -d /home/logbooks1

/usr/local/sbin/elogd -p 8081 -c /home/logbooks2/elogd2.cfg -d /home/logbooks2

Do note that as I was the only user on that linux box, I didn't have login etc.

However, I was soon asked questions by Andreas as to how I found this running, as he had encountered problems with an earlier version.  To be honest, that stopped me experimenting too far with this at that point, as well as a coincidental upgrading of my hardware.

But I was doing this *not* because I had to run two separate elogd.cfg files, but other reasons which meant splitting into two at that time vastly improved the performance of elog on the linux box at that time.  So while I didn't actually enounter any problems in doing so, I only have limited experience - and, of course, absolutely none on running even one [windows equivalent of a daemon] on Windows.

I am assuming here you have good reason for two separate elogd.cfg files, rather than just wanting to run two separate logbooks - guessing here, but one set public (no login) and one set private (with login)?

 

 

 I need to do this because there are 2 different groups that each have 6 or 7 different logbooks in their elogd.cfg files.  (and they can't access each others log books)

Currently the first group  accesses elog as http:elog.com:8080.  The elogd windows service executes "C:\Program FilesELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Program Files\ELOG\elogd.cfg"  

From what I can tell, whats needed is either some way to get the windows service to run a different config file or there needs to be a way of creating a second elog windows service that points to a different elogd.cfg file. Is there some way of doing this?

Have you checked the option "Top groups", which was made especially for that case? You can create several independent sets of logbooks not seeing each other. 

 I will check out the "Top Groups". But another question, the documentation says "Prior to ELOG version 2.4.1, one had to run two elogd servers in parallel, listening under different ports." ... how do you set this up?

You have to create manually a second service. Clone all entry from the first one, except the command line where you load a different elogd.cfg. But I actually never tried this myself.

 Good day,

 

I was wondering (and I searched for :) ) a way to directly edit an entry while in summary view instead of having to first click on the entry then click on Edit...

I mean, in summary view, every row entry is clickable to access the entry itself (except email witch open email client), so instead to open it, can it be edited directly ?

Is it possible ?

 Is it possible to change the "yellow" background color when running a search ? (I looked in the css, there is nothing...) 

Couldn't find any syntax for elogd.cfg

Thanks for your help :)

There are no specific classes for the search dialog, but you can play with the classes "form2", "attribname" and "attribvalue". These classes are used in several places, so all will change in the same way, but maybe that's what you like.

No, this is not possible. 

icon3.gif   Custom "move to", posted by Francois Cukier on Wed Feb 27 13:43:00 2013 

 Good day,

I have 2 logbooks. The main one and the one for the archived entries.

I can make a "move to" command in the main one witch will bring the drop down for the archive. (working perfect).

I was wondering if it is possible to make a "custom" move to in witch I can directly specify the destination logbook, hide the drop down and rename the button.

The main objective is to make a button called "Archive" witch the users only have to press to move the selected entries.<

I know I can make some custom command in list view ie :<a href="?xxx=xxx1|xxx2">zzz</a> so I was wondering if the same is possible and if so, can you guide me on the syntax ?

 

Thanks for your help :)

 Understand.. So when a search/sort is done, the searched item come up with a yellow background... 

The thing is, if you set a "Cell Style XXX= background-color: ZZZ" it become useless since it is replace with the yellow background.

I tried to play with the css but I couldnt figure it out... So you say I cant do anything about it ? I'm just wondering where this yellow color comes from :)

icon5.gif   Wrong link in "Your ELOG account has been activated" email, posted by Ron Beekman on Wed Mar 6 17:56:22 2013 
After entering a new user and activating it in ELOG, the new user receives an email.

The link does not work because the port number is repeated in the link (see below)

In the Global part of the elogd.ini we have added the port:

port = 8080



Maybe I am overlooking something, any suggestions are very much appreciated!



Thanks!

Ron
