</div>There have been some bugs in the past where syslog-ng was not always<br>
connecting to the database correctly on the proper ports, etc. However<br>
in your case this could only apply if something was also listening on<br>
the default port I would assume, since it seemed like it had connected.<br>
Although as one of the other posters had pointed out there could be an<br>
inaccurate error message as well. Perhaps you could verify it's<br>
connecting properly to the DB using Wireshark?<br>
<br>
Was the tsql / sqsh / etc. based testing performed using the same<br>
machine as the syslog-ng setup is running?<br>
