[syslog-ng] start problems

Hello, I've already adopted the recommended init script for debian, but still my syslog-ng 3.4 doesn't seem to work. At the moment actually I can run my compiled program just by entering ./syslog-ng, however it does not seem to have access to files, because I don't see any trace in my log files of starting. If I try to start the program by its init script it waits for about a minute, and then says: failed. However after init script there are still running instances. Can you tell me what my problem is?
