Having issues with syslog-ng since upgrade, it not writing to my log files and when i try and view it via webmin i get error
| Code: |
Bad directive @version: at 0
|
It starts and restarts ok with reporting errors from console?
cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
| Code: |
@version: 3.0

| It seems to be complaining about the "@version: 3.0" at the top of the .conf file. However, I have that at the top of my file and it works fine. Did you maybe downgrade from syslog-ng 3.x to 2.x recently? What does "equery list -i syslog-ng" say? |

Thanks for reply, nope no downgrade and here is output:
| Code: |
equery list -i syslog-ng
[ Searching for package 'syslog-ng' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] app-admin/syslog-ng-3.0.4 (0)

Hmm... I have the same version installed as you do. I've been trying to duplicate the error. I haven't gotten the same error, but I have noticed that it is very, very picky about the first line of the file. It seems like the very first 14 characters of the must be exactly "@version: 3.0" (without the quotes) followed by a newline character. One space (not a tab) before the "3", no blank lines at the top of the file, and no extra spaces at the end of the line. If I do anything else with that first line, I get errors. Also check that the file is using UNIX line endings. Try double-checking all of those things and see if it helps?
Alternatively, back up your file and copy a fresh template from "/usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-3.0.4". I've found sometimes I manage to get a nonprintable character stuck in text files by hitting strange keys -- characters that some editors won't display, but will keep in the file. Starting fresh sometimes helps. You'll probably want to copy and decompress "syslog-ng.conf.gentoo.lzma". (You may be using something other than lzma for PORTAGE_COMPRESS in make.conf.) If that works without errors, edit your changes back into it carefully. |

Thanks for reply, i have replaced mine with one from
/usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-3.0.4/syslog-ng.conf.gentoo.3.0.bz2
but still the same error?

In that case, I really don't know what to suggest. I suppose you could try re-emerging it... although that probably won't make a difference. (At least, it's not supposed to.)
I just re-read your initial post and noticed you talk about webmin. I missed that the first time; I don't use webmin. Does syslog-ng at least work on its own? Is it possible that webmin doesn't support this version of syslog-ng? |

a simple solution comment the 0 line with # and webmin modules work fine.
it's a kludge solution....
