Steve,
again I could not reproduce your problem. See the attached screenshots. It just works fine with me (of course I miss the HTML files for the header and footer). I use however the most recent version of elog (Revision 1675). I also have a different password file. So try the following:
- look into your password file (it's a simple XML text file), it should contain something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

- make sure that you have the most recent version of elogd. Try at least elog261-3.exe under Windows.
- are you sure you need top groups? Top groups are ment for groups of logbooks which are completele unrelated, like from different departments, with different admins etc. Historically top groups were implemented because some elog installations had several elogd servers running in parallel for different departments. In you case, I suspect that "normal" groups might be enough, like:
Group Engineering Compute Change Logs = TX11-CL, TX30-CL, TX32-CL, AZ34-CL, AZ50-CL, FL29-CL, IL108-CL, IL05-CL, Approvals-CL, Template-CL
Group Engineering Compute Incident Logs = TX11-IL, TX30-IL, TX32-IL, AZ34-IL, AZ50-IL, FL29-IL, IL108-IL, IL05-IL, Template-IL

Aacck! I thought sure that this would do it for you. Ok, to answer your last question first:
1> I am reasonably sure that I need top groups. The logbooks with the -CL extension have a common attribute structure. The logbooks with the -IL extension have a common attribute structure. Neither group is the same. Prior to using Top Group I was using a global config for the -CL's but manually maintaining consistent -IL configs was horrible. Top Group solved my problem: maintaining only two config "areas" as opposed to many is very efficient. Do you have another way of doing this other than running two instances of eLog?
2> My password file on Windows is

Ok, I completed stripped any attributes and only defined top groups. eLog no longer crashes but returns a completely invalid page with invalid links when I attempt to create a new logbook - see screenshot below. This is good as it means something in the config was causing things to blowup. I have also attached my stripped out config.
Incidently, I added another screenshot - an invalid link when I *delete* a logbook gets returned "http://localhost:8080/Test4-CL/Engineering%20Compute%20Change%20Logs/". Definitely not a correct URL.

I'm asking! :-)
I have a few Extendable Options attributes, and it would be extremely nice if they got sorted as users put them
in. So that when you select the drop-down box, alle options are sorted.
