Then started it with "net start syslog-ng": $ net start syslog-ng CYGWIN syslog-ng wird gestartet. CYGWIN syslog-ng konnte nicht gestartet werden. Der Dienst hat keinen Fehler gemeldet. Sie erhalten weitere Hilfe, wenn Sie NET HELPMSG 3534 eingeben. syslog-ng did not start. Trying to start with "cygrunsvc -S syslog-ng": $ cygrunsrv.exe -S syslog-ng cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: Der Dienst wurde nicht gestartet. Same as above. Again no usefull error message. Next I tried to start syslog-ng directly with the paramaters passed by cygrunsvc: $ /usr/sbin/syslog-ng.exe -F Error opening plugin module; module='afsocket', error='No such process' Error opening plugin module; module='afsocket', error='No such process' Error parsing source, source plugin unix-dgram not found in source confgen system at line 1, column 1: included from /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf line 10, column 9 unix-dgram ^^^^^^^^^^ syslog-ng documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng mailing list: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng The service does not start because of errors while loading modules.
