[syslog-ng] Can't get syslog-ng to start...

[Mason, Tron]

Didn't seem to matter.  Still getting the same results:

/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 10: @version:: command not found
/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 12: `options { use_dns(yes);'
bash-3.2# vi /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

Hi,

Version should contain only the major.minor information.
Try the '@version: 3.2' instead of '@version: 3.2.4'

BR,

All, I keep getting the following when attempting to start syslog-ng:

Not sure why I’m getting these messages when I’m running a later version:
