How do I make this section Wider or Shorter in the 2.7.8 version?
Maybe I did something to make it shorter? ELCode shows as a full box but plain txt is very short box. 

Hi Stefan,

you were right - running the service by an authorized user solved the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Christian

These problems are usaully related to user rights. Try starting the service under a different (maybe admin) user.

Hello,

I've been successfully using elog as a daemon since several years on a Linux machine. For some reasons recently I had to switch to a Windows 7 machine. Here, setting up the elog daemon doesn't work for me:

(a) running the command:

"...\ELOG\elog.exe" -c "...\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

in a windows shell works perfectly fine - logbook is up and running as set up in the cfg-file.

(b) However, starting the windows service manually (start->control panel->system and security->administrative tools->services) that was set up automatically during installation of elog leads to an error message:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

From the service settings I can verify that the service is running exactly the same command that works in (a).

Could someone please share the windows service settings? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Christian

Ok. Thanks a lot :)

#include <stdio.h>
int main()

   // printf() displays the string inside quotation
   printf("C Programming");
   return 0;
}

Well, 5 years after opening this issue, with no responses here, I finally got into the source code and fixed it.

The problem seems to be if eLog is configured to prohibit users (non-administrators) from the "Config" option...but on the initial self-registration, the code goes to the Config screen for the user anyway...resulting in the false error message.

So, I [badly] hacked eLog to fix that, add some debugging/log messages, and to correct a typo.

Attached is the patch against release 3.1.1-1. Try not to cringe too much at my code. :)

In the HTML editor, you can select the code text, then select from the "Styles" drop-down the style "Computer Code", and on the "Normal" drop-down the formatting "Formatted". This puts the code in <pre>  and <code> tags, so you don't have to manipulate HTML directly.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   // printf() displays the string inside quotation
   printf("C Programming");
   return 0;
