 <LI><b>Can I run the ELOG daemon from inside Apache or any other Web server?</b>
 <p>
-No. The <b>ELOG</b> daemon was designed as a standalone server and it will stay like that in the future. The reason for that is that <code><b>elogd</b></code> should not rely on any other software. This is for example important for many people running <code><b>elogd</b></code> under Windows, and they have no clue how to install Apache for Windows. The installation and maintenance for <code><b>elogd</b></code> therefore becomes much simpler. The disadvantage of this solution is that <code><b>elogd</b></code> needs to run on a different port than 80 in case it runs in parallel with a Web server.

-By default, no password is used in <b>ELOG</b>. This can be useful for public directories etc. that anybody should be able to read. To add password security, read the documentation under <a href="config.html#access">Access control</a>.
