[syslog-ng] NewBe syslog-ng and fedora core 5 64+bit

[Gregory Machin]

Hi
This is the first time I'm using syslog-ng and I'm trying to log all data to
a mysql database ...
when I start the service I get the following errors ..

[root at greg syslog-ng]# service syslog-ng restart
Stopping syslog-ng:                                        [FAILED]
Starting syslog-ng: Warning: No source refers to internal messages, they'll
go to /dev/null
unresolved reference: inputs
Error initializing configuration, exiting.
                                                           [FAILED]
[root at greg syslog-ng]#


this is my config file

# syslog-ng central log host configuration file

this be defined for fedora core ?

# Define filters

# Level Filters

# syslog-ng stats filter
filter f_n_stats { not match("STATS: dropped 0"); };

# syslog-ng "connect from filter
filter f_n_connected { not match("AF_INET client connected from"); };

#####################################################################
# Define where the logs can be stored

# Log log files
destination logpile {
        file("/var/syslog-ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$FACILITY.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
        owner(root) group(root) perm(0600)
        create_dirs(yes) dir_perm(0700)); };

# Console log
destination console { file("/dev/sysmsg"); };

# Linux Console
# destination console { file("/dev/console"); };

# MySQL Database
destination d_mysql { pipe("/var/run/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") template-escape(yes));
};

# Define logging

# Local log
log { source(inputs);
      filter(f_n_stats);
      filter(f_notice);
      filter(f_n_connected);
      destination(logpile); };

# Console
log { source(inputs);
      filter(f_n_stats);
      filter(f_err);
      filter(f_n_connected);
      destination(console); };

# MySQL Database
log { source(inputs);

      filter(f_n_connected);
