Hi all –

I am upgrading from the syslog-ng 1.7 branch on one machine to another server using the 1.9.4 branch.

Using this on the new server I am building, I can not get any data to write to a mysql database. Using  mysql 4.1.11-2 and Syslogng 1.9.4 on RH Fedora Core 4 kernel 2.6.12-1

Using the syslog-ng config file and database setup from the older server that is still running does not work.

So – I tried switching from using a mysql pipe file to using sqlsyslogd – same results –

Log data flows in, gets written to a log file, but never gets inserted into the db –

The db structure looks ok – the sqlsyslogd is running well – not much in the way of being able to debug that but ….gonna try to pass it through a debugger

Here is the relevant portion of my conf

destination sqlsyslogd {

        program("/usr/local/sbin/sqlsyslogd -h localhost -u root -t logs syslog -p");

};

With the password specified in sqlsyslogd.conf  (this is one word on a line by itself – is that right???)

When a log entry comes in I do see an error about writing to FD 7
