[syslog-ng] syslog-ng service not starting

[James McDonald]

There are other syslog-ng servers configured this way in our environments
but I am only having problems with this particular one.  Does anyone have
any other suggestions?  I tried rebooting to clear any connections and
re-establish a new one, but I still get the error after a reboot.  I tested
restarting the service on another syslog-ng server and it worked fine.

listening on port 443 is unusual for syslog, usually https servers are bound
to it so you should check / update your config
