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,

I'm looking to use a template for only a subset of logbook entries. Is there some way to apply a template when a specific topic or category is selected?

Help for the newbie much appreciated.

I'm trying to set up a python rss parser to read the output from my collaboration's elog, however the elog is password protected and I cannot figure out how to have a python scrip get past the login screen.  Is there something obvious I'm missing that will allow a parser to submit a username and password? If that's too python-specific of a question for this audience, then what is the exact security method elog uses, so I can get information on that?  I've read through the documentation and either I don't know what I'm reading (likely) or I'm not looking in the right spot.

What is the input format expected by the elog client for a required Datetime defined field when inserting a record? (Eg: October 26, 2016 = ? in the field's data parameter).

I have read some prior posts on this and the indication is that the input needs to use epoch time, however even when I enter 1477493161 or 0 the client still flags the variable data as missing. If this is in fact the format I shoud be using then I can provide a sample input and output message to illustrate my problem.

Is it possible for an administator to reset a user's password? 

Thanks,

Val

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade ELOG 2.9.2, which I have been used many years, to the new version (3.1.2).

I can't run the new version even from the command line:

Message box appears with message:

What do I do wrong ?

I'm trying to use my old config file. New default config gave the same result :-(

Hi All,

Could somebody help me?

Hi all,

A error came out when I pasted a photo in the text area with  HTML Encoding. The photo is a snapshot from Print Screen. When I submitted it, it said "Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd". How can I get rid of this? I've tried changing elogd.cfg that: ;Message Height = ;Message Width = or Message Height = 500 Message Width = 500. None of these work.

By the way, I want to ask another question that whether it can load a photo on local disk not only the photo URL by click image of the Image info in CKEditor. Can CKFinder integrate in CKEditor and then it can browse local file on tab of image info. My colleagues prefer pasting photos in text area than uploading it as attachment in our site.

Any advice or sugguestion will be appreciated.
