Building out a new syslog-ng server and it seems that in syslog-ng 3.0.5 is chrooting before reading the config file and setting up /dev/log. I ran the same configuration in syslog 2.0.7 without this problem.

/opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng --chroot /var/log Error opening configuration file; filename='/opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf', error='No such file or directory (2)'

That's right, this was changed in 3.0 because with the earlier method, you couldn't reload syslog-ng, you always had to use restart. -- Bazsi
