[syslog-ng] ***SPAM*** Re: Two instances of syslog-ng on the same host?

The second instance youre trying to launch is using the first instance's 
config.
Error initializing source driver; source='src', id='src#0'
 From that message you can see its trying to initialize the source 
callced 'src'. In your second config, your source is called 's_node', 
the first instance is called 'src'. Make sure youre passing the proper 
'-f' option to syslog-ng when you start it.
