  2262   Thu Jun 28 15:20:06 2007 Question toumbitoumbi@yopmail.comQuestion 2.6.5-1870How to change elog directories in windows
Hi , I need an example for windows directories syntax.
I would like to start elog in windows xp from a server directories "\\myserver\elog\" for example and/or "G:\elog\"
I want my elogd.cfg be on this server and not on my local hard drive.
also I would like the windows service start automatically from "\\myserver\elog\" or "G:\elog\"
thank you for your help.

If you go to Computer Management, click on Services, double click on ELOG, you will see "Path to executable". Either you move elogd.exe to d:\elog and start it there, or you start elogd with the "-c" flag, which specifies the location of the config file, such as
...\elogd.exe -c g:\elog\elogd.cfg

I have to warn you however that sometimes I personally had kind of poor network connection to a Windows server, so the reply time of elog was many seconds.

If you see the service config page, then the service is already registered, and you should not use the shortcut "Register ELOG server service" any more. Just change "Startup type" to "Automatic" or "Manual" and click on the "Start" button.

Hi again, See what happen when i install it on Z:\ELOG\ (it is a mapped drive of \\myserver\ELOG\)

Why code 3 ?

Ps: last time , i stopped and registered the service to copie the last version of elogd 1870

No idea, this is an error coming from Windows. Try to start the service manually via the Service Manager, maybe you get some more error there. Or start elogd interactively in a DOS box, like

z:\ELOG\elogd.exe -v -c z:\ELOG\elogd.cfg

maybe there is some access rights conflict.

When i start the service with start button it fail to lunch
but the command z:\ELOG\elogd.exe -v -c z:\ELOG\elogd.cfg work !!
Maybe The service doesn't have access right , ( i see it is Log on with Local System).

In that case it might help to run elog under your personal account.
