Hi , I could execute a syslog-ng client but when i tried to execute a syslog-ng server it failed. The error message is ################### parse error at 13 Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. ################################### The configuration file in remote server is ############################## source shell { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal(); # Listen on public interface, port 514 for incoming connections tcp(ip(192.9.200.22) port(514) max-connections(1)); }; destination localhost { file("/var/log/syslog-ng.all")); }; # Again, we tie both statements together with the log function. log { source(shell); destination(localhost); }; ######################################### can anybody help me?
