We started using syslog-ng on our Ubuntu8 box instead of syslogd. I successfully used this to reconfigure our box to work. I was getting the error "logger service not installed" in the zimbra admin interface even though it said it was the logger service was running.
The only differences were:
in all the syslog-ng config files instead of source(src) i used source(s_all) because that the source i had already configured to send to my network syslog server.
In the logrotate file i used /sbin/syslog-ng instead of rcsyslog because on ubuntu8 the rcsyslog did not exist. This also has to be changed in the sudousers file.
It has been running for a few days now and everything seems to be working properly. |
