Hi Vijay,

Try running it from a command line manually; syslog-ng --help-all details the options, but try "syslog-ng -Fvd" and it should be quiet verbose as to why it won't start...

At least that will confirm your configuration file is OK!

Kr,

James

Hello guys, Happy new year!!
Hope you are doing great.

I've installed (compiled ) syslog-ng on CentOS Linux 7 (Core) but after I got through the install which is all good, I cant get it to start, all it says is :

systemctl status syslog-ng
● syslog-ng.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)
[vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl enable syslog-ng
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
[vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl start syslog-ng
Failed to start syslog-ng.service: Unit syslog-ng.service failed to load: No such file or directory.


Rsyslog is not running, I can't think of any, I am I missing some simple ?????? Any help is appreciated.
