Using FreeBSD 8.0 32 bit.
I have installed rsyslogd 5.5.5 with ommysql. (installed ports /usr/ports/sysutils/rsyslog55 and /usr/ports/sysutils/rsyslog55-mysql)
My rsyslog.conf file looks like:
$ModLoad imudp
$ModLoad imtcp
$ModLoad ommysql
$ModLoad immark.so
$ModLoad imuxsock.so
$ModLoad imklog.so
$OptimizeForUniprocessor on
$AllowedSender UDP, 10.0.0.0/8
$UDPServerAddress 0.0.0.0
$UDPServerRun 514
$UDPServerTimeRequery 2
#
+SG560
*.* :ommysql:127.0.0.1,Syslog,sysloguser,mypassword
My command line flags for rsyslogd are: -c5 -4
Checking the code with -c5 -N1 returns no errors.
I have confirmed that rsyslogd is working by changing the last line to say:
*.* /var/log/snapgear.log
which results in messages appearing in the snapgear.log file. So it is probably something to do with my MySQL setup
If I do:
mysql -u sysloguser -p Syslog
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 56
Server version: 5.0.86 FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.0.86
mysql> select * from SystemEvents;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
:-(
I have confirmed that sysloguser has full privileges for the Syslog database.
If I run rsyslogd on the console in debug mode:
/usr/local/sbin/rsyslogd -f /usr/local/etc/rsyslog.conf -c5 -n -d
I can see this sequence of events each time a message is received:

.... I can see the Action Call to ommysql returns unexpected error code -2123
Now I am stuck! Any ideas on what to look for next? Perhaps I there are extra ports I need to install? I will be very grateful for any assistance here!
