Hi

Elog runs now for serveral month without any problem at a Windows 2000 server.
I must change the access rights for all Folders, remove the user everyone and set the
Rights only to defined groups .
Now I can see following Event ID

Event Type: Information
Event Source: ELOG
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 20.07.2005
Time: 08:14:24
User: N/A
Computer: SNDSRV1
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ELOG ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: Cannot stat() config file; No such file or directory.

My question now. Have someone see the same Problem ?
It this is a access right problem How to set up the access rights for Elog
Elog folders ?

Bye

I do not know what exactly is going on. This error occurs during runtime when elog tries to check if the config file (usually elogd.cfg) has changed. It checks if the file is there on startup, but apparently it is there, otherwise elog would not start. Then it checks about once per second if the file access time has changed. If so, it rereads the file. This way changes to the file become valid immediately, without restarting elog. The fact that elog has access to the file on startup, but not later, is somehow strange. Maybe you lock this file with an editor, or it is on a network drive which gets disconnected, or the permission changed after the startup. Something in that direction.

Under 2.5.4-2 build1.460, when I edit the demo elogd.cfg the following happens:

- I start with
URL = http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/

- When I go to edit the global section of the config file, the *display* of
the string is changed to:
URL = <a
href="http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/">http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/</a>

- Saving this results in an error in that the rendered url is invalid.

Our current running version is 2.5.4-build1.413 and this behavior is not
evident.  I've looked through the diffs but could not identify the genesis
of this new behavior.

Thanks

  700   Mon Sep 13 20:44:35 2004 Question Christopher Jonescjjones@zombieworld.comQuestionWindows2.5.4-2Use Email From not Working as Before...
Hi,

We just recently upgraded from an older version of Elog to the latest and
greatest, 2.5.4-2.  Everything is workinly nicely, except the "Use Email
From" option does not seem to work as before.  We have the option set so
that all e-mail that is sent should be from a single address, but instead it
just ignores that address and uses the e-mail address of the user currently
logged in.   

I have this set in the global section of the elogd.cfg:

Use Email From = elog@****.com

Please let me know if this is the intended function or if it may possible be
a bug.

Thanks,
Chris

I gave the user email address priority over the "Use email from" option, that
means only if the user does not have an email address, then the "Use email from"
value is used. Now I realize that the priority is maybe wrong, so I should give
the "use email from" switch the highest priority. Only if this flag is not
present, then the system uses the user's email address. If that one is not
present, too, then the system uses "elog@<host>".

I applied this change to the CVS version, so let me know if it is ok with you.
