I installed syslog-ng on an offline CentOS 6.x machine by first downloading all required rpms using this command: yumdownloader --resolve syslog-ng There were two files needed, that did not download and I downloaded them separately using: yumdownloader eventlog-0.2.13-1.el6.x86_64.rpm and: yumdownloader libnet-1.1.6-7.el6.x86_64.rpm These are the files I moved to the offline server: 17,684 eventlog-0.2.13-1.el6.i686.rpm 17,804 eventlog-0.2.13-1.el6.x86_64.rpm 122,940 gamin-0.1.10-9.el6.i686.rpm 1,738,964 glib2-2.28.8-9.el6.i686.rpm 4,570,040 glibc-2.12-1.209.el6_9.2.i686.rpm 117,400 libgcc-4.4.7-18.el6.i686.rpm 60,464 libnet-1.1.6-7.el6.i686.rpm 59,196 libnet-1.1.6-7.el6.x86_64.rpm 111,688 libselinux-2.0.94-7.el6.i686.rpm 309,920 libstdc++-4.4.7-18.el6.i686.rpm 161,168 nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-23.3.el6_8.i686.rpm 201,096 pcre-7.8-7.el6.i686.rpm 452,548 syslog-ng-3.2.5-4.el6.i686.rpm 451,092 syslog-ng-3.2.5-4.el6.x86_64.rpm 63,536 tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-58.el6.i686.rpm 74,284 zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.i686.rpm Once I moved all these files to the offline server into their own folder, I ran: rpm –ivh *.rpm to install. I then checked the config file, made a couple of tweaks, then started syslog-ng using: service syslog-ng start I got the following errors: Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/lib64/syslog-ng', module='afsql' Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/lib64/syslog-ng', module='afsql' [ OK ] Syslog-ng was now running, just with these two errors. A quick google pointed to the problem, syslog-ng is looking for the sql plugin and the solution: yum install syslog-ng-libdbi But when I tried to run yumdownloader syslog-ng-libdbi I got "Nothing to download" And when I tried yum install --downloadonly syslog-ng-libdbi I got "Nothing to do" So here are my questions: 1. Will syslog-ng run just fine receiving udp and sending udp with those errors and without that module? If, so, I don’t care if I don’t get that module. 2. Is it possible to run syslog-ng and disable that module in the run command? 3. Can I remove syslog-ng and re-install disable that module on install? 4. I’d rather not recompile if I don’t have to, but I found instructions for how to do that. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
