[syslog-ng] Error binding socket UDP

[Laszlo Szemere (lszemere)]

Hello,
 in most of the cases this can be caused by:

1. The address:port is already in use
  a) by an another application - it can be syslog-ng itself, i.e.: it is started multiple times
  b) the address:port is configured multiple times in your config

2. You do not have permission to use that port.
 a) It is under 1024, so your process needs the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability. (or simply run as root)
 b) selinux restrictions


If you can rule out those common issues and unfortunately none of them help, than we will need more info from your setup to continue.

br,
Laci
