You probably have the wrong version. Use 1.5.21. Aaron On Tuesday, October 8, 2002, at 12:06 PM, Laurent Mesuré wrote:

Hi,

i ve used the HOWTO from Ben Russo to install syslog-ng on a Mandrake Linux box.

I ve already have a PostgreSQL running on this box.

I 've build both libol and syslog-ng without any problem.

I ve made all steps specified in the HOWTO.

But when i launch my /etc/init.d/syslog-ng i go the following error:

Starting syslog-ng: parse error at 37 Parse error reading configuration file, exiting.

And in the configuration file at line 37 i have the following lines:

destination d_msgs { file("/var/log/messages" template("$FULLDATE $HOST $FACILITY.$PRIORITY $MSG\n")); };

What happened?

regards
