[syslog-ng] Error when starting syslog-ng 3.0.1

[Bristol, Gary L.]

OK, it's now the top line and it works, the program now recognizes that it
is a 3.0 version config file.
Also I tried to change the .0 to a .2 and that also caused the same error.
So it must be tied to the version of the program and not the maj.min of the
configuration file.

It would be nice to have that explained a little more clearly in the
instructions.

Thanks all for helping.

It needs to be the very first line in the file.  You have it as the second
line.

Did as suggested.

The errors are now a lot less but now syslog-ng won't start.

Here's the error I get 

[root at soc-nsm-002 init.d]# ./syslog-ng restart
