Does anyone have any other suggestions? I tried rebooting to clear any connections and re-establish a new one, but I still get the error after a reboot. I tested restarting the service on another syslog-ng server and it worked fine. James, Assuming you're running a linux distro of some sort: sudo netstat -lpn | grep 443 will get you to see what's listening to that port. I would suggest that this is more of an operating system issue then syslog-ng. James
