We followed the simple download instructions. Our existing logbook entries

Is there some step we missed?

Have you tried to delete your cookies in the browser and try again?

The location of top.html has been changed from the ELOG root down into the loogbook directory. If you want to keep it in the original location, you have to specify the full path. See the documentation for where to put the file for "Top text".

I just went from 2.6.1 to 2.6.4 and since the upgrade, the quick search drop-down menus no longer work. I can select an attribute, but when I do so, I only get an empty page with the following message:
Attachment #0 of entry #0 not found
Please use your browser's back button to go back
[...]


Apparently, this must have been some session-oddity - I just logged out and got an error message about a bad URL. I then went to the base URL of the logbook (i.e. http://server:8080), chose the correct logbook and logged in again. Things work fine since. No idea what went wrong the first time round... Frown

Hi, I'd like to upgrade from an old version of elog 2.3.8 to 2.6.0. I installed the new version, and it runs fine, but it doesn't seem to see my old logbooks (the path in the conf file is correct). Do I have to upgrade my logbooks somehow?


No. The last change in the logbook format was for version 2.0.0. So something else must be wrong. Just creat one entry with your new elog, and see where it's created on the hard disk. Put your old logbooks there. If you start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, you will see it indexing all logbooks. Check that you see all your entries there.

Thanks, you were right, it was just a permissions problem on the logbooks, which I had copied over as root.

Thanks, I added a note into the admin guide.

When you update from a version 2.* to a version 3.* then all elog entry files will be moved in subfolder for each year. But non of the entries are lost.
Only if you afterwards try to start an old version 2.* with the newly converted data directories, then the old version will not find any of the entries.
I've updated the ELOG version many times now. The only data I once lost was a modified CSS style file and a "hand modified" configuration of the ckeditor.

Hi,



We discussed on windows build some weeks ago and i tried to make one to check if it’s possible.

The result is in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69491

This could help you up to official new build.
