Hello,

I have followed the very simple steps on the Download page for checking out and compiling from GIT.  That works perfect and there is no issue.  

The problem I have is-- it is not clear to me where to put the 'elog' dir that I have after I 'make' and 'make install'.  Or, is there an installer script afterwards that I run? I'm installing on Debian 7 and trying to upgrade from 2.5.2 (which was installed using apt-get.)

Hi Andreas,

Thank you so much for the reply and info; Much appreciated!  I turned up a CentOS 6 VM and the installation, using the RPM's provided on the 'downloads' page here, worked perfectly and was very straight-forward and easy.

The D/L page includes the Debian repositories (which is how I installed on Debian in the first place) but only installed v2.5.2.  I needed to get to the newest version (ELOG V2.9.2-2455) so I can setup authentication and SSH.  (And also so that when I am reading the manuals and documentation online, provided at this site, that is makes sense to the version I am running.)  I also want to add that it seems that I am able to bring over my older 2.5.2 logbooks to 2.9.2 without any problem.  To do that, I just rsync'd the logbooks from old to new.  They seem to work just fine under the newest version.

I'm good to go.  Anyone looking for an easy deployment of ELOG, especially in a production environment, I can attest that the RPM's provided here make it very simple to deploy on Cent6.

Thanks!

How can I host elog in a web server. I need sample config file on [global] segment to show config on how it can be host. Please need your help. Thanks

Hi Stefan,

Good day. I'm thinking if this wishlist is already available in elog. The values in columns we're added or computed according to formula set in a single separate column.

Thanks,

Thanks Stefan,

I checked in my ELOG folder and can't find the stunnel.cfg. Is that only available in Linux? Can you please recommend a third party SMTP server for me use to successfully enable mail notif via Windows OS. Thanks much

Cheers,

Hi Stefan,

I remeber when I used elog email notif feature in my previous workplace which is running in windows, I just put IP address on SMTP host = X.X.X.X at the config file and it run without any problem. I'm thinking they are using SMTP server. Can you please recommend any SMTP server and SMTP relayer site that I can use to be able to successfully send my email notification. I tried SendGrid SMTP cloud server but i have hard time and still failing. you might recommend SMTP server that you are using now in your elog site. Thank you so much.
