------------------
[root@EARTH syslog-ng]# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -v
parse error at 1
Parse error reading configuration file, exiting.
[root@EARTH syslog-ng]#
-------------------
syslog-ng.conf:
[root@EARTH syslog-ng]# cat syslog-ng.conf
options { sync(0); };
source src {
        udp();
        internal(); };
destination misc{file("/var/log/misc");};
log{source(src); destination (misc);};
[root@EARTH syslog-ng]#
Works for me:

  [root@slim:root]# syslog-ng -v -d -f /tmp/syslog-ng.test
  binding fd 3, inetaddr: 0.0.0.0, port: 514
  io.c: Preparing fd 3 for reading
  syslog-ng version 1.5.15 starting

  [root@slim:root]# cat !$
  cat /tmp/syslog-ng.test
  options { sync(0); };

  source src {
          udp();
          internal(); };

  destination misc{file("/var/log/misc");};
  log{source(src); destination (misc);};

You sure it's using this config file?
