This link seems to be pointing in the right direction as it relates to this problem. Looks to be mainly a Precise issue:

After a little research, and an pretty good introduction to Ubuntu sys logging, the problem was resolved by uncommenting the following lines from the /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf file and restarting the rsyslog service:

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none

More particular to Precise, I had to format the changes in the rsyslog.conf file like this to get it to work (shouldn't have to do that, maybe had a space somewhere):

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;auth,authpriv.none;cron,daemon.none;mail,news.none -/var/log/messages

I'm having this problem too. Fresh install of BOA on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

I've tried the above steps in #2 and #3 but no luck.

I think I figured out my problem. Prior to finding this post I manually created the file, I assumed it was having a problem because it didn't exist. I realized that the file permissions were not set and I fixed them. Haven't seen the Syslog error since.
