The syslog viewer is not the issue. It is the syslog itself. Keep getting the warning about openlog() and syslog() being disabled due to security reasons. Line 94 for openlog() and line 109 for syslog(), with five warnings regarding the latter.

Since I am a beginner, installed on a temp directory, working at getting it fully operational sooner than later could use your help.

Read through what I could find in trouble shooting, is there something I am missing? I would like to have the logs enabled. But for now going to disable them.

Here is a copy of the exact Warning:

* Warning: openlog() has been disabled for security reasons in syslog_watchdog() (line 94 of /home/connieow/public_html/temp/drupal-7.0/modules/syslog/syslog.module).
* Warning: syslog() has been disabled for security reasons in syslog_watchdog() (line 109 of /home/connieow/public_html/temp/drupal-7.0/modules/syslog/syslog.module).
* Warning: syslog() has been disabled for security reasons in syslog_watchdog() (line 109 of /home/connieow/public_html/temp/drupal-7.0/modules/syslog/syslog.module).
* Warning: syslog() has been disabled for security reasons in syslog_watchdog() (line 109 of /home/connieow/public_html/temp/drupal-7.0/modules/syslog/syslog.module).
* Warning: syslog() has been disabled for security reasons in syslog_watchdog() (line 109 of /home/connieow/public_html/temp/drupal-7.0/modules/syslog/syslog.module).

Thank you.

I am getting the same error messages. Connie, you've chosen Drupal 6 but your messages seem to indicate Drupal 7. Presumably it is D7 where the problem lies?

Issue tags: +Syslog, +drupal 7, +openlog

Although the title of this wrong, as is the version of Drupal, as is the project/module, it is one of the few places on the site with this error message mentioned which I don't understand as I got it on two different sites after I installed Drupal 7 (both at Evohosting).

I never resolved it but it has suddenly stopped appearing after a week and I have no idea why.

I just upgraded another site (on 1and1) to Drupal 7 and so far have not received this error message.

Hello,

Yesterady I had problems on Drupal 7.7. After turn on all modules of core I got this message, after log on or type: http://yourdrupal/admin (in log off mode) :

Warning: openlog() has been disabled for security reasons w syslog_watchdog() (linia 93 z /home/mypath/public_html/mypath/modules/syslog/syslog.module).
Warning: syslog() has been disabled for security reasons w syslog_watchdog() (linia 108 z /home/mypath/public_html/mypath/modules/syslog/syslog.module).

You can use @ in php code or change display_errors=off in php.ini - but they aren't solutions.
In my case I had in php.ini -> disable_functions="....openlog()" in my provider server, so I asked they to change this.
I write about this, because I found many questions about warnings in syslog or openlog. But you should check (ask) the server's setup like in my case.

Sorry for my english
