Habitual: that didnt work

I ran the "lsof -p 1234", which releases the port, but the port gets reclaimed automatically. Still get same error after resarting syslog-ng: Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:1234)', error='Address already in use (98)'
Error initializing message pipeline;

"reclaimed automatically" by syslog-ng?

0.0.0.0 typically represents "use all interfaces", (unconfigured, possibly?)
Perhaps that is the clue?

Sorry, that's all I got.

You might also have two sources in your configuration that binds to the same port.
