syslog-ng not working [SOLVED]

running it manually, I get

# syslog-ng -d
Trying to open module; module='syslogformat', filename='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/libsyslogformat.so'
Trying to open module; module='basicfuncs', filename='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/libbasicfuncs.so'

Trying to open module; module='dbparser', filename='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/libdbparser.so'
Trying to open module; module='csvparser', filename='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/libcsvparser.so'
Persistent configuration file is in invalid format, ignoring;

It fails to start as a daemon as well.

Re: syslog-ng not working [SOLVED]

Strange, there aren't any errors there... the linked forum post is supposed to be solved by 45ea08652a which was committed prior to the release of 3.2.2

    persist-state: ignore unsupported on-disk formats and overwrite the file
    
    In case syslog-ng crashes, the persist-state file can become empty, and in
    case we're downgrading the file will be in an unknown format. Accept
    this situation instead of failing at startup
