Stefan, I'm still stumped. I'm sorry for the hassle.
I've removed all the demo entries from both my logbook and the demo. I restarted elog in verbose mode and everything seems normal. I've even run the binary from my old elog installation on the config and logbooks in the new place and it works like a champ.
So I think I've concluded that my new compilation is mucky'd up. The logbooks and config file are fine.
So for the record, the new installation is on MacOS 10.5 (Leopard). The compiler is gcc4.0. There is one warning when I compile:
src/elog.c: In function 'url_encode':
src/elog.c:209: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'strlcpy' differ in signedness
But this is not likely the problem.
So I stuck a debug statement into the code and recompiled to see the dates that are read from the logbook. Here is what I found:
DEBUG: Thu Nov 08 18:37:57 2001
DEBUG: Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:38:31 +52175311
DEBUG: Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:41:17 +52175311
DEBUG: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:24:26 +52175311
DEBUG: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:29:50 +52175311
DEBUG: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:15:31 +52175311
DEBUG: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 18:22:16 +52175311
DEBUG: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 18:23:20 +52175311
I haven't yet been able to figure out what this last number is and if it should indeed be part of the date. Any ideas here?
Thanks,
-Val

I've attempted to move a logbook from an old elog installation to a new one on another system. The version of elog is the same (2.6.1) in both. Both systems have the same name and the logbooks are and installation are going in the same place. So all paths are identical. Also, for the new installation, I've simply recompiled the same sources used to install the original one. The only difference is an upgrade in the OS.
I've rsync'd the directory and contents from the old installation to the logbooks/ directory for the new one. I then over-wrote the standard config file with the new one. I then started elogd in the new place.
What I find is
a) The default entry from the demo logbook is inserted into my logbook. This I can live with but it was unexpected.
b) The dates for all my entries as shown in my browser have years starting in 1946, rather than 2006. This is particularly odd since all of the actual log files have the correct dates.
c) The numbering of entries has been reset to 1.

That sounds really strange. The only thing I can think of is that the demo entry conflicted with your other entries and two of them have the same entry ID. The entry ID is a unique key which identifies each entry. If you look into the raw logbook file 011108a.log with a text editor, you will see them as
$@Mid@$: 1

[B]Congratulations for installing ELOG sucessfully!

This is a demo entry to ensure the elogd server is working correctly.
Click [I]"New"[/I] to add new pages and [I]"Delete"[/I] to delete this page.
so in this case the ID is 1. When you rsync'ed your entries into the demo logbook directory, you probably got two entries with the ID 1, which screws up elogd. Try to delete the file 011108a.log before you do the rsync. If you start elogd interactively with the "-v" flag, you will see some debugging output which can you help identify some problems:
[ritt@pc5082 ~/elog]$ ./elogd -v
