ELOG cannot open /etc/elogd.cfg error

When I attempted to add a new entry with a new category to an ELOG logbook on a Linux system, I saw the error message below:

Cannot open file /etc/elogd.cfg: Permission denied
Please use your browser's back button to go back

I checked the file permissions on the elogd.cfg configuration file and saw the following:

# ls -l /etc/elogd.cfg
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 785 Jul 16 14:47 /etc/elogd.cfg
#

So only the root account had write access to the file. I then checked to see which account elogd was running under. The program lisens on port 8080 on that system. If you don't know the port that is being used for ELOG, you can find it in the /etc/elogd.cfg file. E.g.:

[global]
port = 8080
