[syslog-ng] syslog-ng service not starting

[James McDonald]

I ran these commands: sudo netstat -lpn | grep 443 and sudo /usr/sbin/lsof |
grep LISTEN | grep -w https and here are the results.

[jmcdonald at servername ~]$ sudo netstat -lpn | grep 443
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443                 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      3511/syslog-ng

[jmcdonald at servername ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/lsof | grep LISTEN | grep -w https
syslog-ng 3511      root   11u     IPv4              12997      0t0
TCP *:https (LISTEN)

If syslog-ng is the one listening/accessing the port, then why am I unable
to start/restart the service?

There are other syslog-ng servers configured this way in our environments
but I am only having problems with this particular one.  Does anyone have
any other suggestions?  I tried rebooting to clear any connections and
re-establish a new one, but I still get the error after a reboot.  I tested
restarting the service on another syslog-ng server and it worked fine.




James,

Assuming you're running a linux distro of some sort:

sudo netstat -lpn | grep 443 

will get you to see what's listening to that port.  I would suggest that
this is more of an operating system issue then syslog-ng.

James
