[syslog-ng] Error parsing source

[Jesus M Diaz]

Hello,

I have just came  to 'syslog-ng' and I am having some troubles to setting it up.

I am using the "syslog-ng.conf" provided by "slackbuilds.org", and I
have add just few lines. Well, those lines make the daemon not to run.

the error:

++++++++++++
Starting syslog-ng daemon:  /usr/sbin/syslog-ng
Error parsing source, source plugin s_router not found in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf at line 59, column 14:

log { source{s_router}; destination{d_router}; };
             ^^^^^^^^

***************************

If I comment my "log" line, it works fine, but if I use it, it
complains about the "source" entry.

Surely it is a silly mistake, but I can't see it, so if any of you
could help me I really would be very gratefull

thanks a lot!
