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. On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Subodh Nijsure <subodh.nijsure@gmail.com>wrote:
When I start syslog-ng I always get following error in the log.
Jun 17 10:34:22 Node1 syslog-ng[836]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.0.2' Jun 17 10:34:22 Node1 syslog-ng[836]: Error opening control socket, bind() faile d; socket='/home/subodh/install/syslog-ng/install//var/syslog-ng.ctl', error='N o such file or directory (2)'
What is the control socket in syslog-ng? Should I be worried about this,what functionality do I loose 'cause syslog-ng is not able to create control socket?
I am running version 3.0.2 on PowerPC 85xxx platform.
Below is the output of syslog-ng -v
