The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Cheers, Andreas

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying  from terminal to the email .  There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:elog tapasi$ cd  /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:demo tapasi$ ls -ltr

Use

usr = <user anme>

in elogd.cfg as written in the documentation.

I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot
create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails.  I couldn't make out from elogd
-v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing.  This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version

Hi John,

I use ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 on my Mac OSX 10.11.5 and it works fine. So apparently the parameters of the ImageMagick program have been changed.
If you set the logging level to 2 or higher, you should see the "convert" and "identify" commands in the logging file. If you try these
