Wie bitte ist der dorhin gekommen? Normalerweise wird elogd.cfg unter /usr/local/elog gespeichert. Wenn man natuerlich diese Datei von Hand irgendwo andershin kopiert, muss man sie auch dort veraendern, sonst schiesst man sich selbst in's Bein.

How can i configure eLog to be used completely anonymous without the need to log in?

I tried menu and guest menu settings without luck. I do not use password files. With earlier versions this was easy to set up...

Thanks in advance

Sure. Just remove "Password file = ..." and any guest menu.

Does not work.

Clean install (debian 8 x64, with aptitude), only thing i've changed in the config is "URL"-parameter (global section) and redirection with Apache. No luck. Edit or delete gives an error "Error: Command "Delete" not allowed", "New" opens login-windows.

Now i removed all (guest) menu and URL settings a use it directly (port 8080), still no luck. "Error: Command "Delete" not allowed". When i click on "New" a login-windows opens.

Tested with the demo-logbook.

Version 2.9.2 is hopelessly outdated. Please upgrade to the current version on bitbucket. You also might have to delete any cookie in the browser sent to the elog server.

I'm running  Elog version V3.1.4-ba84827 on Red Hat Linux 7.9. As part of migrating from an older in-house logbook to Elog, I need to upload all the old logbook entries. However, when I attempt to do that with the "elog" command line tool, I'm getting the error "command Submit not  allowed.

I read through a similar report from 2015 (entry #68149), but none of the potential causes seem to be at play here. The logbook is using PAM authentication, and I can log in to the web interface using the same credentials I'm using from the command line. The other case mentioned a dis-allowed encoding format, but my logbook is configured to allow all formats.

This is the command line I'm using:

/usr/local/elog/bin/elog -v -h logbook.aps.anl.gov -p 8081 -l On_Call -x -n 2 -a Date='10/19/2020 01:02' Author="David Wallis" Title='Test Upload' Status='Open' System='On-Call' -u 'wallis' '*****'  "This is a test message"

Update: I tried switching the logbook to no authentication reqiured, and still get the "command Submit not allowed" response.

"submit not allowed" you typically get if there is a "guest menu" for read-only access and you are not logged in. I never tried the elog program with PAM authentication, but you said that your turned authentication off. What I would do is to strip down your elogd.cfg to a very simple form until the elog utility works, then figure out which configuration makes the trouble.
