You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.
Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended
- allows write access for "others") |

The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.
But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Re: Find empty attributes, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Feb 17 18:08:53 2016

It is possible for normal string attributes: the regular expression pattern "^$" can be used to search for an empty string.
E.g.
in this Forum "ELOG Version" is a required attribute, and should never be empty. But if you search for:
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?mode=threaded&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=8&ELOG+Version=^%24
you'll
find a couple of entries from a time where it apparently wasn't a required attribute.
Cheers

No. At least there is no simple method.
You would need to edit the source code and recompile elogd. But the number 256 is used for about 300 times in the source code, you'll have
a hard time finding the right one to increase. |

[quote="Juergen Diefenbach"][quote="Andreas Luedeke"]I'm just guessing, but you could try to disable the "save drafts" feature and see if the behaviour
changes:
Save drafts = 0

Hi Tim,
starting with ELOG version 3 all entries are moved into sub-directories for each year.
If you move the files back
from the sub-directories and restart elogd, then the entries should appear again in the logbook with ELOG 2.9.2.
I don't
know how to solve your other problem. Maybe you should talk to someone locally who can administer your windows server?
Cheers, Andreas
