Description 8573dd 2014-12-06 20:03:57 UTC
When I, having edited my `/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf`, run
`rc-service syslog-ng reload`, I get the following error message (with
a red asterisk):

     * syslog-ng: `/var/run' is not a directory

1) Please post your `emerge --info app-admin/syslog-ng' output in a comment.
2) Please attach your edited /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf to this bug report.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-06 21:12:02 UTC
Yes, it should use /run these days.

Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-18 19:52:18 UTC
well, it's just a warning and the directory is user-controllable but I updated the default to /run in the 3.6 series.
