Hi,

No other services are runnign at that port... when i give just          udp(); instead of          udp(ip("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") port(514));

it works, means i can restart syslog service///

Is the IP address local (configured on the host)? When not then syslog-ng can't bind to it. Looking at the first mail my guess is that you're trying to use the IP address of the remote host, not the IP address of the host where syslog-ng is running. Regards, Sandor
