LinuxQuestions.org - ading new source in syslog-ng for appache error log

hellow

i tried to use local1 for apache error log but ( in syslog client)

my teacher asked me to create a new one

here what i did

/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

Code:

source my_src {



internal();



 file("/var/log/apache2/error_log");



};

But when i restart syslog it tels that it has not the permession to
open apache error log

linux-c4z2:/home/sami # rcsyslog restart

Code:

Shutting down syslog services                                        done

Re-Starting syslog servicesError opening file /var/log/apache2/error_log for reading (Permission denied)

Error initializing configuration, exiting.

startproc:  exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 1

Could somene her tel me

1 is it the better way to replace the Errorlog syslog:local1 in /etc/apache2/mod_log_config.conf
because ia want to change it with Errorlog syslog:new_Facility
2 if no could some one help me because i am blocked here for more then 3 days .
