It can't create the pid file:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
:: Starting Syslog-NG
[BUSY] syslog-ng: Error creating pid file; file='/usr/var/run/syslog-ng.pid', error='No such file or directory'
There's probably an incorrect configure option
hrm i don't use sudo, without sudo it works fine here.
I get same thing when running as root. Do you have a var symlink in /usr? If so, that's why it works for you. I don't know what could be the problem as we already use --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng. Maybe there's a configure option for the location of the pid file.
it seems i have such an old system that it still has this old symlink :D ok i'll fix it tomorrow
fixed in -3 package please signoff.
The error is still there. The localstatedir option is now define twice: there is the old one " --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng" that you didn't removed and the one you just added: "--localstatedir=/var". The old localstatedir wasn't refering to /usr/var so it has no effect on the location of the pid file. You'll need to revert your change and try something else. doh, you are right ...
