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 Stefan,

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

Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Christian

First, upgrade to 2.5.4-5 (if you haven't done so). If the problem persists,
please start elogd on the server with the "-v" flag, capture the screen output
and send it to me by email so that I can have a look. Please send also your
elogd.cfg file.

Mr. Stefan

We tried installing elog on another pc with almost the same configuration and are 
able to run it without any problems now.
ELOG V3.1.5-3fb85fa6
