Hi Stefan,

Roptions, or Radio Buttons.  Do you recall that on old
radios, if you gently pressed a button you could release whichever
button was already in, without selecting the new button; in other
words no selection made.

I'd like this same facility with elog.  Now I know that it can be
done by (for example) in the config file preselecting one of the
selections on reply- or indeed one that does not exist to "clear" it, 
but in this case that is not the route I'd want to take every time.

What I'd like is a (optional) button along with all the others, which 
if you click on it, it will clear any selection for that particular Roption.  
At present, once an Roption has been selected, it will persist in all 
replies unless or until an alternative choice is made.  Alternatively, if 
no selection has been made, then there is no selection on the reply, either. 
[Unless something in the elog.cfg file].

Regards,

David.
 

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

We are trying to use ELog on Windows XP with Protection on individual log 
book and we unable to login after creating users even if we give correct 
user name and password login screen reappears. We are able to log in to the 
Elog when we use windows 98 Client we are running Elog on Windows XP and 
without password protection on logbook it is working fine with windows 98.

For win xp clients we are using winxp sp 1, ie 6.1 using a proxy server

We are installing a new data center which will be based on Windows 2012 servers.  Our current center is on Windows 2008 and will be decommissioned this year - 2008 servers (because of the security issue) will not be allowed in the new data center.  So game plan is to install latest ELOG (3.1.2) on the 2012 server at the new data center and move the logs over from the 2008 server.  I've looked through entries and do not see anything about moving the logs over from one system to another.  In this case there are 2 concerns:

1.  Has anyone moved the log entries from one system over to another?

2.  Since we are also looking at updating version of ELOG - are there conversion steps necessary for the log entries or will v3.1.2 be able to use the log files from v2.9.2 as is?

Thank you, Lesley

I have been playing with Elog on windows 7.  I want to set up an elog that can be accessed from our local network, and I discovered that can be done by running the server on windows and entering the host machine's computer-name:8080 in a browser on any machine on the network.

I had the server registered as a windows service, but oddly, when I re-booted the server didn't seem to be running (problem #1).

I then ran into some other problems (currently trivial) but I eventually got around to uninstalling and reinstalling Elog.  I deleted all the existing logbooks and data files when I uninstalled, and even deleted everything in the folder I had used as a backup to the Elog directory.  So, after reinstalling, I should be getting only the demo logbook and the original demo entry, right?

BUT I'm actually getting the three logbooks that I had created before I uninstalled (problem #2).  Even though the entire Elog directory was deleted when I uninstalled... including config file and logbook directory.  I can go into "Program Files" now and see that the config file present is the default/demo config file (from the most recent install)... yet when I launch elog in a browser, I am seeing those three logbooks from before, even though they should be gone from my hard drive.

Elog must be storing data somewhere else... where?

(p.s. I've also tried clearing my cache and deleting cookies in the browser)

If it's relevant, when I'm not on the local PC hosting the server, I am accessing it through a university network, and I've found that I can enter computer-name:8080 from ANY machine on the University's nertwork to access elog.

Sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I am not an IT professional. We just received word that our IT department has plans to update our system to Windows 10 in 2018. Was wondering if our current version of ELOG was compatable with Windows 10? Thank You Very Much For Your Help.

Hello,

I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted in November 2021.
With the reason: "Poorly sourced article, and I was not able to find good sources myself."

I could access the old article through web.archive.org, but for the project it would be good, if the article got revived.

I use a elog which has a text field to show log entries:  https://classis01.roma1.infn.it/elog/calib/     In the "Summary" view there are only 3 lines of about 40 characters shown, so often the entry is cut off even though there is plenty of space in the text box for longer lines.   To see the full entry you must click on the ID number.   Is there any way to configure the Text box to show longer lines?   Thank you.
