No problem,
I used the rpm installer in both cases for SuSE. Concerning rcsyslog, the symlink still points to /etc/init.d/syslog instead of /etc/init.d/syslog-ng. Nothing uses rcsyslog to start syslog-ng, it's just in SuSE's documentation that services can be restarted with "rcservice-name" restart, so I tried it out. I changed the symlink and it works.
Ah, I didn't know that. I'll make sure that we fix this. Thanks for reporting it.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
Thank you very much. Your feedback is really appreciated, I'm just a little bit lagged behind my todo items, thus the delay in the response. On Mon, 2009-04-06 at 18:23 -0400, srainville@videotron.ca wrote:
Here's my feedback on the installers:
RHEL 4.x (32 and 64) syslog-ng server installer: No problems. Replaced> an older (2.0.4) version of syslog-ng without any issues.
SuSE 10SP1 - 32bit syslog-ng client installer: Installed correctly but didn’t replace the existing syslog-ng installation (1.6.8) which ships with SuSE 10SP1.
Did you use the .rpm or the .run based installer? Neither one is intended to completely remove the system supplied syslog-ng package, it merely "disables" it and runs the newly installed syslog-ng instead.
SuSE 10SP1 - 32bit syslog-ng server installer: Installed
correctly,
replaces the current syslog-ng implementation
hmm.. it should behave the same as the 'client' installer, effectively the two packages are the same, except for a few missing files.
and moves the configuration to /opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog- ng.conf. It didn't replace/remove the rcsyslog script. Must now use /opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng to stop/start/restart the process.
Hm.. the installer should've created an /etc/init.d/syslog-ng script which you can use to control the process. The rcsyslog script is only a symlink. Does it cause any problems that it is still pointing to the old syslog init script?
suse-10:~ # ls -la /sbin/rcsyslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-09-25 14:45 /sbin/rcsyslog -> /etc/init.d/syslog Is there an application that launches syslog-ng with this script?
