ELOG Port Configuration

I installed the Electronic Logbook (ELOG) package developed by Stefan Ritt on a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 system to track work I do on the system. By default, ELOG uses port 8080, but I already had other webserver software listening on that port, so I changed the listening port for ELOG. I also configured ELOG to support SSL, i.e. to accept HTTPS connections. I also set a read and write password for access to the logbook I created.

Determining Version of JRE

If you have Sun Microsystem's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on a system, you can check its version by obtaining a command prompt and entering the command java -version.

C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

If you selected the default install directory, the JRE software will likely be stored in C:\Program Files\Java.

C:\PROGRA~1\Java>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is AC89-88C6

 Directory of C:\PROGRA~1\Java

On a Linux system, you can also issue the java -version command to see the version.

$ java -version
