[syslog-ng] Localport() & localip() cause syntax error in 2.0.2

[Evan Rempel]

Well, that is odd. I am using a similar destination line

destination pika.comp  { tcp("pika.comp.uvic.ca" localip("syslog2.uvic.ca") log_fifo_size(50000) ); };

and am running version 2.0.2 on linux

however, when I add in the localport or the destport a syntax error occurs.

I ahve also noticed that if I have a template_escape first on a line that has a template on it,
I still get the error of template_escape can only be used on inline templates.

Syntax checker needs a little work :-(

Over to the author for this.


Evan.
