I know less than @cmkelley about github, but I think this will get you there. I spent 12 seconds googling for it:
Code: 
https://github.com/cynicastic/scribe/tree/4a72b3275d7ab6ae8328576c70f34f5c534feb5e

Give me a few minutes. Just drove from Upstate NY to NH to return my in-laws to their home.

I thought we had it there. Turns out it's a gamma.

"This software was written by someone who very likely didn't know what they were doing. There is a non-zero chance this software will not function as intended, cause irreparable data loss and/or hardware damage, or accidentally trigger the annihilation of the earth. End user accepts all these potential outcomes as the unavoidable consequences of existing."

No SSL Cert so it won't download :(

So, let me check I got this right. I was running 2.4.4 and it was fine. Saw this update to 3.0.0 so I did the update but it broke my setup. I deleted everything and reinstalled and still had the same problem. Was advised here in this thread to uninstall and install it back - wouldn't install. I ask for help and I'm told to go elsewhere.
Have I missed anything?
Thanks for the blow-off!

@Ripshod Blowing up at someone because you are annoyed, then telling them to not take it personally may make you feel ok, but that doesn't make it right.

Vent your frustration elsewhere next time, please.
 
I apologise to anyone I've offended.
See ya!
 
@cmkelley more importantly (than the whiny, entitled, dummy-spit, throw-all-my-toys-out-of-the-cot behaviour) ...
How IS the grand-child?

:)

Thanks. At least that part is working correctly, lol.

okay, well there's one horribly embarrassing mistake of this, I totally munged the location of the scribe config file in rc.func.syslog-ng. I mean horribly, I have no idea what possessed me to put 'scribe_conf="/opt/jffs/addons/scribe/config"' in there. Not only is /jffs at root, not in /opt, but the subdirectory for the config file is scribe.d, not just scribe. Wow. I don't know how many times I must have seen that and my brain went "this is fine." Really proving my point, "this is why we don't do things late at night."
ANYWAYS, congrats on making the drive back safe. I was lucky enough one year to go on a business trip to the Lake Seneca area in early October and really enjoyed the multi-colored leaves as we drove from Syracuse - the leaves don't do that here, lol.
Lemme look a little harder for more fat finger issues and I'll post another gamma for you. I'll post here when I do.

Okay, @visortgw, please have a go at it. Same as before, copy the /tmp/scribelog file each time. This time though, please also check 'ls -al /jffs/syslog*' between running S01syslog-ng restart and scribe restart. I'm hopeful, but not positive, lol.

Okay, that's weird, the /opt/etc/init.d/S01syslog-ng file didn't update ... I don't get it.

What version should I be running? scribe (gamma) didn't detect new version.

Run scribe again and see if it's there now. I've heard sometimes it takes a while to propagate across github's servers. It should have said there is a minor update to 3.0.4.

Nevermind, I see what happened. A change didn't push for some reason.

It was weird, github desktop wash showing everything pushed, but when I went to github on the web it wasn't there. So I've pushed another tiny change to scribe and now it's showing updated on the web (at least for me).
