https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24 Summary: .pid file not set correctly (STOP not working) Product: syslog-ng Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: man@inspektsecurity.com Type of the Report: --- Estimated Hours: 0.0 Hi. in installed syslog-ng 3.0.1 PE (syslog-ng-premium-edition-3.0.1-linux-i386.run). The installation is on a CentOS 5 system (RedHat spin-off). Although the program itself works fine, the RC scripts STOP command does not work. I traced the problem down to the .pid file not being set correctly. According to the RC script the .pid file shoud be in: PIDFILE=$SYSLOGNG_PREFIX/var/run/syslog-ng.pid resulting in the below when running STOP/RESTART ------------ [root@test-server:~] /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart -n Restarting syslog-ng: -n Stopping syslog-ng: -n Starting syslog-ng: Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Address already in use (98)' Error initializing source driver; source='tcp_input_syslog', id='tcp_input_syslog#0' Error initializing message pipeline; failed ------------- I found out that the pid file set is actually: /var/run/syslogd.pid So changing the RC script to: PIDFILE=/var/run/syslogd.pid seems to work. br /Marc -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
