Looking at some of the questions here this seems too newbie to even ask.

I want to set up a log book for my mechanics. I want them to each have a password to log in and enter what they do each day.

When I try to set up a password file it takes all the info, then when I hit save it says "server has been reset" and it will not log in. I have to remove the password = and restart the server.

[global]
port = 8080


[TFB]
Password file = <tfbpass>

 I'm trying to use gmail to send password recovery e-mails, I get this error when I submit the email address.

"Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 2sm5111524agd.34"

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Hi.

I have ELOG V2.8.0-2313 installed on a SLC 5.5 release and all works fine, Users can register them-self and I see for each of them in the passwd file:

<name>test</name>

<password>***something***</password>

....

after a '/etc/rc.d/init.d/elogd restart' the logins don't work anymore (they did before the restart)

and the passwd file changed:

<name>test</name>

<password encoding="SHA256">***something else***</password>

....

Any idea what goes wrong?

Cheers, Jack

After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!

 Have you tried deleting and re-creating the account? Otherwise you could stop elogd, edit the password file with a text editor, and restart elogd.

 Thanks for your rapid response Stefan!  This is affecting two accounts, "admin" and "prescon". I can delete/create a new prescon but the admin accout concerns me that deleting it may lock me out of admin functions.  What I originally wanted to do was send an email when a new entry or updates were saved. I put five email addresses in the email field rather than in the Configuration file.  I've attached a screen shot, with notes, (you may have to scroll down to see it all) of what I am seeing.

Can you tell me how to stop elogd? I've edited that file several times however when I open ELOG in my browser the elogd is back like it was before the edits.

Thanks again for your help Stefan!     - Terry

Wow. Putting email addresses in "Full name" and several ones in "Email" is a heavy misuse and even I did not know that this works at all! You should either use the "Subscribe to logbook" function, or the "Email all = <....>" option in the config file.
