elog -h midas.psi.ch -l Linux+Demo -d elogs -a Author=nobody -a Type=Other -a Category=test -a "Subject=hello" -m /tmp/hello.txt

 It seems straight forward enough but I must be missing something in my elog command string. I run the client utiltiy but it always hangs after pressing Enter from the cmd window. It could be the way I specifying the host or subdir but I'm not sure. I tried multiple variations.

Some more info: For the prototype I'm just running Elog locally. I installed it to my XP in "c:\program files\elog". I verified tht elogd process is running. With the Elog page already open (ref my attached cfg file) I typed the following, observing case sensitivity, then press enter and at this point it just hangs:

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Tartan+Tow+Log -d elog -a Ticket+date="Jul26/11"

Note since all attributes are optional I only included "Ticket Date" for now until I can get this cmd working.

Please bear with me as I don't have an extensive technical background but I would be very grateful for any help as it's for a project at work. Soonest response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

good morning,

I have installed elog 2.8.0 from terminal but when I type

elogd -p 80

or simply

elogd

the system tells me

Cannot bind to port 8080

Can someone help me?

Thanks

It seems to work nice to me.
Just another suggestion: I think it would be better to insert a commented out
example for all allowed parameters in the distributed  /etc/default/elog

nice work :-)

Thanks for the test.  Please note that, /etc/default/elog is partially auto
created during the installation.  All options except PIDFILE and CONFFILE are
currently listed (as configured or commented out).  If you didn't see these
options (after the update), there must be a problem.   Did you mean the lack of
PIDFILE and CONFFILE in the default file?

no, my bad (it seems :-P) .. I re-installed the package now on my laptop and seems
to work fine... maybe I have swapped the diff result when installed yesterday.

Making tests I found another problem, her is the report:

So, removing an existing elog (not purging) and installing again raise the error.
Why installation creates the default/elog file only the first time ?  I think it
shoud do the job everytime (and everytime ask the user is there is a diff to be
checked)
