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

[Balazs Scheidler]

These messages dont seem to be generated by syslog-ng or are by a very old
version.

Can you copy paste the command you use to start syslog-ng with that config
file?

And although 3.2 does support @version it is still ancient. We are at 3.7
now, 5 major versions later.
