Hi Larry
The permission is -rw------- 1 root root same with the another log in /var/log And there is alot of output in dmesg. And I already restart the daemon too. I also try: # logger -p daemon.warn "This is only a test."
And in the /var/log/messages # tail -f messages Dec 13 04:02:39 server2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Dec 14 08:37:39 server2 kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped. Dec 14 08:37:39 server2 kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating. Dec 14 08:37:40 server2 exiting on signal 15 Dec 14 08:37:40 server2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Dec 14 08:37:40 server2 kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Dec 14 08:39:18 server2 root: "This is only a test." Dec 14 08:39:19 server2 root:
But only that what I get from /var/log/messages, nothing else.
Best regards.

Hi all,
I don't know if anybody already ask this question. Sorry if I repost it again. I googling already, but don't find any clue. I'm using centos 5.3, but why the /var/log/messages is empty. Even the sylogd daemon is run. Me already compare /etc/syslog.conf with another centos machine. The /etc/syslog.conf is same. Anybody know what happen?
Many thanks.
have you checked permissions / ownership of /var /var/log and /var/log/messages ? Have you tried restarting syslogd? Is there anything in dmesg ?
