[otrs] Can't connect to syslog when using File logging????

I have logging set to file, and it's logging to that file. Today I decided to test out the phone ticket system (since I never ran it before, want to amke sure everything works before this goes live). After clicking "search customer" button on it after entering part of an email I get the "Cannot connect to syslog" error. Why am I getting this error when it shouldn't be using syslog at all? --Matthew Shapiro
