I have just installed syslog-ng-1.6.5 and was looking forwarded to putting some of its features to good use. However, I just cannot get this up according to your install instructions. When I try to start "syslog-ng" I get the following errors. I have check the startup for typos I could not find any. does anyone have any insight to this error? [root@traffic syslog-ng]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng start /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng: line 1: init.d: command not found /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng: line 14: RETVAL-0: command not found Starting syslog-ng: Cannot open configuration file /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf for reading Parse error reading configuration file, exiting.
