Re: [Pound Mailing List] Pound 2.7a - LogFacility local1 not working

Well,

Solved my own issue, and it was DEFINITELY my own issue.

I had originally installed the default pound for Ubuntu, then removed 
it, and compiled the 2.7a version.

I had symlinked my /etc/pound.cfg to the 2.7a location of 
/usr/local/etc/pound.cfg ....then promptly used RCS to checkout 
/etc/pound.cfg ... which wiped out my symlink and created a file... 
editing /etc/pound.cfg was obviously a big fail on my part. The bigger 
fail was I kept editing that file and expecting things to change...hmmm, 
and the definition of insanity is????   :)

Putting the correct information into /usr/local/etc/pound.cfg of course 
solved the problem. (doh)
I also removed the /etc/pound.cfg file and put a README in there instead 
to "jog my old memory".

Pound is working perfectly now.

Thanks,

Dave Crouse
