My bad. The config file is not right, for ipv6, it should be: tcp6(ip('fdfb:8edf:1466::191') port(514)); instead of: tcp(ip('fdfb:8edf:1466::191') port(514)); After the change, it is listening on ipv6 interface. On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 12:10 PM, huican ping <pinghuican@gmail.com> wrote:

I tried to make syslog-ng listening on ipv6 network interface, but it failed to start. Can anyone help me?

my syslog-ng version is: syslog-ng 3.4.0alpha2

My simple config file is: I already put the line below at /etc/hosts file: fdfb:8edf:1466::191 iclab098v6 iclab098v6.ic.intel.com
