syslog-ng

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. (line 1)

[root@traffic syslog-ng]#

this is my startup script

[root@traffic syslog-ng]# vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng

init.d script
#!/bin/bash

#description: syslog-ng starup script
