Re: [syslog-ng]/dev/log is not a socket error on startup

...

io.c: bind_unix_socket(): /dev/log not a socket Error initializing configuration, exiting.

something probably changed the socket to a pipe or something. try removing /dev/log and restart syslog-ng so it will not refuse to start.

And, just like that, it's working. I had removed /dev/log and recreated it, not realizing syslog takes care of that. Cool. Thanks! -T -- Answering the age old question: Which is more painful, going to work or gouging your eye out with a spoon? www.workorspoon.com
