I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.
I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.
Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.

I also just noticed that the text files I use for presetting the text window also have to be in the logbooks directory. |

Thanks. I checked the changelog and the documentation for any such changes but did not see them. I just looked again, and still do not see them. Anyway, I know what to expect, now, and will adjust. Again, thanks! |
2.7.6 and 2.7.7 crash upon opening logbook that runs on 2.7.5, posted by David Spindler on Mon Nov 2 21:23:38 2009

I upgraded 2.7.5 rev 2175 to 2.7.7 rev 2246 last Thursday. I tested it with several logbooks with no problems. However I received a rep[ort today that it was down. I discovered whenever I tried to open a logbook entitled "Equipment Reservation" in the folder "EquipmentReservations" Elog would crash. I checked the elog.log file with no entries in it other than showing when it was restarted. I backed up to 2.7.5 and had no porblems with the same logbook. I repeated the upgrade to 2.7.7 with the crash problem returning. I am now back on 2.7.5 with no problems.
I just decided to try 2.7.6 rev 2239 and had the same results as 2.7.7.
This is running under Win2K with SP4 as an automatic service on port 80.
I am also running Elog V2.7.4-2118 on a different port (8080) simultaneously with no problems.
If you wish I will send the elog.cfg file. Anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks,
David |

I need to reproduce your problem. Therefore I need the configuration and the xxxxxxa.log file containing the offending entries. You can strip it down to the minimum needed to do the crash.

In the process of trying to reduce it to a minimum I discovered that the entry that appears to be causing the crash is this:

I know it looks like I am totally inept. I apologize. Obviously I was in a hurry the last couple of posts.
Ok, let's try this again.
