Make sure the directory /home/subodh/install/syslog-ng/install//var/ actually exists. (The var directory is not created by default.) Syslog-NG will automatically create the .ctl file for you.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

When I start syslog-ng I always get following error in the log.<br>
<br>
Jun 17 10:34:22 Node1 syslog-ng[836]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.0.2'<br>
Jun 17 10:34:22 Node1 syslog-ng[836]: Error opening control socket, bind() faile<br>
d; socket='/home/subodh/install/syslog-ng/install//var/syslog-ng.ctl', error='N<br>
o such file or directory (2)'<br>
<br>
What is the control socket in syslog-ng? Should I be worried about<br>
this,what functionality do I loose 'cause syslog-ng is not able to<br>
create control socket?<br>
<br>
I am running version 3.0.2 on PowerPC 85xxx platform.<br>
<br>
Below is the output of syslog-ng -v<br>
<br>
syslog-ng 3.0.2<br>
