The syslog-ng Administrator Guide

Procedure 4.4. Installing syslog-ng on HP-UX systems

1. Use your username and password received together with your syslog-ng Premium Edition license to download the following binaries. Make sure to download the package specific for the processor architecture of the host.

   • The syslog-ng Premium Edition package (syslog-ng-premium-edition_<version>) from

     http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/binaries/premium-edition/pool/s/syslog-ng-premium-edition/

2. Issue the following commands as root:

   cd/ 
   gunzip -dc /path/to/syslog-ng-package.tar.gz | tar xf -

3. Edit configuration file as required.

   	Warning
   	The default configuration uses the standard syslog port TCP/514, which HP-UX uses by default for other purposes.

4. Optional step: When installing syslog-ng to the central syslog-ng server, copy the license.txt license file to the /opt/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf directory of the server.

5. Remove the symbolic links to syslogd from the init directories /sbin/rc1.d/ and /sbin/rc2.d/.

6. Create symbolic links to syslog-ng in the init directories:

   ln -s /sbin/init.d/syslog-ng /sbin/rc2.d/S220syslog-ng
   ln -s /sbin/init.d/syslog-ng /sbin/rc1.d/K780syslog-ng

7. Issue the following command to start syslog-ng:

   /sbin/init.d/syslog-ng start
