Issue

We have just tried to upgrade from rsyslog to rsyslog7 and we are running into the error below when restarting the service

[root@hal ~]# service rsyslog restart
Shutting down system logger:                               [FAILED]
Starting system logger: rsyslogd: run failed with error -2207 (see rsyslog.h or try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 to learn what that number means)
                                                           [FAILED]
