Your source line should look like this: source src_udp { udp( ip("131.97.91.56") port(514)); internal(); }; Regards, Drew -----Original Message----- From: carl andreasson [mailto:karlblau@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 8:21 AM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: RE: [syslog-ng]Config file error? No Thats just becase of the copy-paste... the config file is correct there.. i checked it, It seems to be complaining about the UDP stuff.... /calle

Maybe it's just a copy-pase thing, but a space seem to have crept into template-escape at the end of your destination line: "templa te-escape(yes))" .

/Christian

The config file: ***********************************************

options { long_hostnames(on); sync(0); };

source src_udp {udp(131.97.91.56) port(514); internal; };

destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe"template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority,level, tag, date,time,program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY','$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL', '$TAG','$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM','$MSG' );\n") templa te-escape(yes));};

log { source(src_udp); destination(d_mysql); };

***********************************************

and i get this when i try to run it, *********************************************** [root@guardian-angel syslog-ng]# syslog-ng start parse error at 3 Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. (line 3)
