Error Installing Folscom Swift on Ubuntu 12.04

I get the following error when trying to install Folsom Swift:

Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, I did the same thing in my environment, it is OK.

Then, I viewed the relevant code, it may be caused by the reason that the device /dev/log didn't exist. Could you confirm it?

As to how to solve problem the device /dev/log didn't exist, it can be solved by installing rsyslog.

[jravetch]

@guanxiaohua2k6 Yes I can confirm /dev/log doesn't exist. However, syslog-ng is installed instead of rsyslog. Should i replace syslog-ng with rsyslog?

[guanxiaohua2k6]

It's OK to use syslog-ng instead of rsyslog. But you should change the /etc/syslog-ng.conf to make it use /dev/log.

[jravetch]

Here is what's already configured in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf. I believe dodai-deploy is already configuring syslog-ng.

sysope@cn01040804:/dev$ cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

sync(0);

use_dns(no);
use_fqdn(no);
create_dirs(no);
keep_hostname(yes);
stats(3600);
};

source s_local {
file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
unix-stream("/dev/log");
internal();
};

destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); };
destination d_mesg { file("/var/log/syslog"); };
destination d_auth { file("/var/log/secure"); };
destination d_mail { file("/var/log/maillog" sync(10)); };
destination d_spol { file("/var/log/spooler"); };
destination d_boot { file("/var/log/boot.log"); };
destination d_cron { file("/var/log/cron"); };
destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); };

filter f_spol { facility(uucp) or (facility(news) and level(crit..emerg)); };
filter f_boot { facility(local7); };
filter f_cron { facility(cron); };

Could you confirm whether the service syslog-ng is started or not?

[jravetch]

syslog-ng wasn't started, so I tried to start it and got the following error:

If you are using NII academic cloud, the service syslog-ng should be started after the instance booted.

Regarding the question, because it is related to the image created by NII, I think it's better to ask NII why the service syslog-ng couldn't started after the instance booted.

@guanxiaohua2k6 I confirmed the issue was the syslog-ng conf and it was customized for 11.10 not 12.04, which uses syslog-ng 3.3, so syslog-ng was not starting correctly. I modified the config to use 3.3 syntax and was able to start syslog-ng service. I then was able to successfully install swift. Thanks again for your help.

[guanxiaohua2k6]

I see. Thank you for your reply.
