Enhanced Logging With rsyslog - rsyslog script error

Hello,
in reference to http://www.howtoforge.com/logging_with_rsyslog_phplogcon_debian_etch

Step 6:
/etc/init.d/sysklogd stop
/etc/init.d/klogd stop
/etc/init.d/rsyslog start

I get this

-bash: /etc/init.d/rsyslog: Permission denied

Have tried restarting the Server with no luck, the Phplogcon is running, however there is no data, since the startup script cannot run.

 

Did you run the commands as root?

 

Yes I was logged in as root.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -l /etc/init.d/rsyslog

?

What's at the beginning of that file?

 

ahhh right, well It appears that I've fixed it with this

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/rsyslog


Thankyou for putting me on the right track !

I'll post my next question in a new thread.
