Hi,

Before I used Suse 10.0 ( syslog-ng-1.6.8-3.2) , the router logfiles were send to another directoy /log/syslog. Via php-syslog-ng, the messages were also send via a pipe to a MySql database. -> no problems.

Now I setup a new server withe Suse 10.2 (syslog-ng-1.6.11-23) but the logfiles outsite /var/log are not working: I get a Permission denied message, also no permission to write to the /var/log/pipe connection (php-ssylog-ng). When I send the log messages to another directory/file in /var/log than it works.

How can I solve the permission problem?

Rem:

A chmod like 777 don't help, its like the daemons checks if the directory /var/log used + pipes or links are not allowed!

Are you using AppArmor, aren't you? Try disabling AppArmor first and when syslog-ng works then review/update your AppArmor conf.
