Hi Vijay,

Try running it from a command line manually; syslog-ng --help-all details the options, but try "syslog-ng -Fvd" and it should be quiet verbose as to why it won't start...

At least that will confirm your configuration file is OK!

Hello guys, Happy new year!! Hope you are doing great.

I've installed (compiled ) syslog-ng on CentOS Linux 7 (Core) but after I got through the install which is all good, I cant get it to start, all it says is :

systemctl status syslog-ng ● syslog-ng.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) [vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl enable syslog-ng Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory [vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl start syslog-ng Failed to start syslog-ng.service: Unit syslog-ng.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Rsyslog is not running, I can't think of any, I am I missing some simple ?????? Any help is appreciated. -- Thanks, Vijay Amrut.

Hi all, What do you think, could it be possible, that by default, the source install puts the everything except the config files, under /usr/local. I think, it might be possible that the systemd unit file is referencing syslog-ng by its absolute path, and the binary is simply not there, where systemd expects it. IMO it would be a good idea to check for this.

Hi Vijay,

Indeed looks like it reads the configuration OK.

While FreeBSD is my cup of tea, have you checked "sockstat" and "netstat" to check relevant listener ports are not in use before running manually, although I would have thought that binding errors would have been seen during startup...

Have you had a look at the CentOS rc.d / service scripts for syslog-ng to look for any obvious issues, e.g. do they exist, are executable, who does the service run as and do they have access to write a pid file, service logfiles, etc?

Beyond that I am out of immediate ideas; others on this forum will be more knowledgeable than I in CentOS and syslog-ng installation, but they seem to lurk during GMT business hours which is about 10 hours away...

Is there a CentOS forum you might cross posting in also in the meantime; it sounds like a path issue or that the service is missing all together? Are you sure the service is called syslog-ng?

Kr,

James

Thank you James. This is what I get from and it seems good but I can't get to start...

Hi Vijay,

Try running it from a command line manually; syslog-ng --help-all details the options, but try "syslog-ng -Fvd" and it should be quiet verbose as to why it won't start...

At least that will confirm your configuration file is OK!

Kr,

James

Hello guys, Happy new year!! Hope you are doing great.

I've installed (compiled ) syslog-ng on CentOS Linux 7 (Core) but after I got through the install which is all good, I cant get it to start, all it says is :

systemctl status syslog-ng ● syslog-ng.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) [vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl enable syslog-ng Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory [vch@slc ~]$ sudo systemctl start syslog-ng Failed to start syslog-ng.service: Unit syslog-ng.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Rsyslog is not running, I can't think of any, I am I missing some simple ?????? Any help is appreciated. -- Thanks, Vijay Amrut.
