Hi,

Before I used Suse 10.0 ( syslog-ng-1.6.8-3.2) , the router logfiles were send to another directoy /log/syslog.
Via php-syslog-ng, the messages were also send via a pipe to a MySql database. -> no problems.

Now I setup a new server withe Suse 10.2 (syslog-ng-1.6.11-23) but the logfiles outsite /var/log are not working:
I get a Permission denied message, also no permission to write to the /var/log/pipe connection (php-ssylog-ng).
When I send the log messages to another directory/file in /var/log than it works.


How can I solve the permission problem?

Rem:

A chmod like 777 don't help, its like the daemons checks if the directory /var/log used +
pipes or links are not allowed!
