Hi Does someone know why it worked in 1.5.13 and not in 1.5.21? destination qdb2 { udp("qdb2.westend.com"); }; log { source(src); destination(qdb2); }; (optionally with port(514) but doesn't matter) # syslog-ng -F -v -d io.c: Preparing fd 3 for reading io.c: listening on fd 4 binding fd 5, unixaddr: /dev/log io.c: listening on fd 5 io.c: connecting using fd 6 Error creating AF_INET socket (Success) Error initializing configuration, exiting. The hostname is, according to "host"/"nslookup" correct. bye, -christian- P.S.: Please cc me when replying. thanks. strace: 24568 execve("/sbin/syslog-ng", ["syslog-ng", "-dddd", "-vvv"], [/* 22 vars
