I returned from being out of the office for week and realized something was “off” with syslog-ng.  I was unable to restart the service.  I did a ‘service syslog-ng status’ and it says it’s stopped.  When I try ‘service syslog-ng start’ I get the following error:

Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:443)', error='Address already in use (98)'

Error initializing source driver; source='inputs', id='inputs#3'

Error initializing message pipeline;

There is only instance of syslog-ng installed on the server but I did a reboot to try and clear any conflicting settings, but I still get the same error.  Can someone help me clear this error and get the service started again?

Thanks,
