Hi,

 

I am facing a somewhat strange issue on AIX 5.3. I am unable to restart the daemon whenever i try to set it up as a central server.

 

On a a normal case it works fine .

 

After copying my syslog-ng.conf.server-sample as syslog-ng.conf., when i restart the daemon, it does not comlian about anything and gives me a PID as well.

But the daemon does not seem to have started.

Below are the logs.

 

Setting Up as A Central Server

=======================

cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>cp syslog-ng.conf.server-sample syslog-ng.conf
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/init.d/syslog-ng.d  restart
0513-004 The Subsystem or Group, syslog_ng, is currently inoperative.
0513-059 The syslog_ng Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 233502.
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>ps -ef|grep -i syslog
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>lssrc -a|grep -i syslog
  syslog_ng        local                         inoperative

 But , otherwise as in a normal case or even as a client it wors perfectly fine.

 

cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>cp syslog-ng.conf.bkp syslog-ng.conf
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/init.d/syslog-ng.d  restart
0513-004 The Subsystem or Group, syslog_ng, is currently inoperative.
0513-059 The syslog_ng Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 155708.
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>ps -ef|grep -i syslog
    root 155708 139370   0 05:43:40      -  0:00 /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/sbin/syslog-ng
cscaixlgg059:root:/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc>lssrc -a|grep -i syslog
 syslog_ng        local            155708       active

I created the syslog_ng substem as below

Can someone please advice?

 

Thanks & Regards,
