Hi This is the first time I'm using syslog-ng and I'm trying to log all data to a mysql database ... when I start the service I get the following errors .. [root@greg syslog-ng]# service syslog-ng restart Stopping syslog-ng: [FAILED] Starting syslog-ng: Warning: No source refers to internal messages, they'll go to /dev/null unresolved reference: inputs Error initializing configuration, exiting.
