Then it must be a typo in your elogd.cfg, or you forgot to restart the server. At the bottom of the elog page you must see ELOG V2.7.8-2294 like on this page. For the Demo logbook (accessible via "Demo" on the top left corner of this page, you can see how it works (Type=Routine gets green).

 Right, I should have restarted the server. Thanks! Everything looks perfect now!

Hi Stefan,

I recently installed the latest Elog 2.7.8 revision 2277 after running Elog 2.7.7 revision 2246 for several months without any problems. However once I submit an entry by using the Reply command Elog crashes and Windows XP reports an error message screen. This also stops the elogd service.

I have pinpointed it down to the command "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" by removing my whole configuration file and just added the line "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" to your demo configuration file.

Elog seems to also stops the elogd service with any "subst on reply" command.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Regards

Cliff Shaw

Grrr.  Forgetting to pick an icon means my message was blasted.

I have installed elog 2.7.8 and it is running.  When I connect to it and get a login window, I am always denied.  If I remove the passwords, then I can login with no password information.  I have tried both command line for setting passwords and directly in the elogd.cfg file.

Suggestions on what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ian

PS - are there RESTful interfaces to automate the generation of log entries via an HTTP POST or HTTP GET?

Which password scheme are you using? Is it Read passoword = ... or Password file = ...? If you use a password file (that's what most people do) you have to create yourself an account just as you did for this forum here. There is no other way to enter the encrypted password into the password file. Just follow "To start a new password file..." in the documentation.

Thanks for reporting that problem. I finally found the bug and fixed it. I made a new elog278-2 for you to download. 

Is there any way to directly paste an image from a Windows clipboard into an elog entry page?  It's obvious
for uploading a file, but many of my users say that they never make a file, they just want to paste in an image
already onscreen.

This is a limitation of the FCKEditor used inside ELOG, and actually of the whole browser concept under Windows. 
There are some extensions to Firefox which let your paste an image as an attachment, but none for doing this right 
into the text body. For some discussion about this have a look at

for example.
