Yup, its a pretty common format though not necessarily the most intuitive if you haven't seen that. On May 27, 2015 9:48 PM, "craig bowser" <reswob10@gmail.com> wrote:
Never mind.
For those that don't know, a coworker told me that error means the error is at line 132, column 7.
Thanks.

Hi, I'm just learning about configuring syslog-ng. I'm using the latest version (info at end of email) and I've run into an error I can't figure out. I made a syntax error in my syslog-ng.conf that caused syslog-ng to fail to start. I corrected the error, but now when I try and start syslog-ng, it still fails.
trying to start it with 'service syslog-ng start' or 'service syslog-ng restart' gets me: Job for syslog-ng.service failed. See "systemctl status syslog-ng.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
But the error is buried in the systemd logs. Using '/usr/sbin/syslog-ng -F' gets me the following error:
Error resolving reference; content='source', name='s_name', location='/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:132:7'
What is that file? Can I safely delete it? Why can't I make it use the new .conf file? When I try '/usr/sbin/syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -F' I get the same error.
