Hi Stefan,

you were right - running the service by an authorized user solved the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Christian

These problems are usaully related to user rights. Try starting the service under a different (maybe admin) user.

Hello,

I've been successfully using elog as a daemon since several years on a Linux machine. For some reasons recently I had to switch to a Windows 7 machine. Here, setting up the elog daemon doesn't work for me:

(a) running the command:

"...\ELOG\elog.exe" -c "...\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

in a windows shell works perfectly fine - logbook is up and running as set up in the cfg-file.

(b) However, starting the windows service manually (start->control panel->system and security->administrative tools->services) that was set up automatically during installation of elog leads to an error message:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

From the service settings I can verify that the service is running exactly the same command that works in (a).

Could someone please share the windows service settings? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Christian

Hi,

Maybe the post is outdated already, but I want to share my experience anyway. I faced the same problem as Daniel: The most recent ImageMagick package was not detected by elogd even though it was installed. I could trace back the problem to the following issue:

Stefan mentioned that the ImageMagick software is detected via the 'convert' command. Since ImageMagick V7, however, the 'convert' command is no longer supported. So, when installing ImageMagick V6 the detection works.

@Stefan: Maybe you could adapt the software detection at some point? Thanks.

Ok. It take me a while, but I reinstalled ImageMagick with marked option "convert". Now, when I start elog, it can see ImageMagick, but screenshots attached to elog entries are still in original sizes. And, I don't see buttons for rotating, resizing images. 

I look into elog cfg options, but only what I found is Thumbnail size which, it looks, don't work.

Don't know what more I should check.

The detection in elogd works by executing the command "convert" and check if the program executes. If you start elogd as a service, the program might see another path variable. Maybe reboot Windows or start the service in the environment of a real user instead of system, where it might miss your modified "path".

Hello.

I finally try add ImageMagick to ELOG.

I downloaded latest version (ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16) and installed it. Everything looks ok, but when I start Elog service it says that "ImageMagick not detected". 

When I look at the "path" variable i have "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;[...]".

What else can I check?

 

Regards

Daniel.

 

Ps. My system is Windows 7 Pro.

Update:

While the image scaling via ImageMagick works when running elog manually it doesn't when running elog as a service. The service is hosted in the same user environment that allows image scaling with elog started manually. What else could go wrong?

This I do not fully understand: To my understanding the PATH environment variable (includes the ImageMagick path) is a system variable and should be accessable from any account and should be valid under any conditions. Am I wrong? Additionally, I tried adding the system Path variable to the user specific variables for that user that runs the service (Path = %Path%) in the system settings. Finally, I tried copying the imdisplay.exe (ImageMagick executable) and convert.exe (used for the software detection) from the ImageMagick installation directory to the same directory as elogd. Neither of these approaches was successfull.

Ok, this explains why it doesn't work.

Thank you for the support anyway. ELOG is a great piece of software.

Ah sorry. I recall now: Under Windows, calling subprocesses from a service does not work at all. After a couple of days of work I was not able to get this running. If somebody has some idea, I'm happy to try it. So most people use the elogd daemon in the background only under Linux.

I don't undersand myself fully how services see the environment. Like if they see the PATH at all. In some occations it helped to run the service not under the SYSTEM account, but under the (admin) account of a real user.

Hi, I was wondering, how can I insert new items into my drop down menu and have them appear in an alphabetical order? Is there some sort of code I can insert into the config file to do so?
Thanks

How can I have my list accept over 500 entries? I tried increasing the elogd.c (max_n_list)file as stated but the compiler gives me errors. Please help

Thanks for the response. I am trying to use it as a file database, to monitor the status of files(whether they have been removed, ammended etc), currently there are 90 files but I expect the size to grow.
