Hi Peter,

Thanks, disabling apparmor really worked. Thank you very much Disabling apparmor is just a workaround. The solution is to add the files to AppArmor. If you read from the file, then a line like this to /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.syslog-ng: /some/file.log r, If it's a destination outside of /var/log, then a line like this: /some/file.dest rw, This way your applications are still protected by AppArmor, but syslog-ng can reach files outside of /var/log Bye, CzP

Thanks and regards, *Hidayath* **

When I start the service at client, I'm getting the following error Starting syslog servicesError opening file for reading; filename='/some/file.log', error='Permission denied (13)' Error initializing source driver; source='s_mysrc' startproc: exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 2

The file /some/file.log has -rw-rw-rw- permissions

You should try to disable AppArmor (rcapparmor stop), and if it helps, then add the file to /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.syslog-ng Bye,
