There should be a line in your ldmd.conf like this:

allow   ANY
   
^((localhost|loopback)|(127\.0\.0\.1\.?$)|([a-z].*\.unidata\.ucar\.edu\.?$))

The 'localhost|loopback' part should allow your own host to connect to
itself.  This line is essential - the ldm won't work without it.  Is it
in your file?  (It must be, as you had the ldm working earlier.)

Are the permissions for ~ldm/logs set correctly?  The directory should
be owned and writable by 'ldm'.

No, no need to remake the ldm to pick up changes to syslog.conf or to
follow a corrected link.

I'm happy to hear my advice has helped!  Let me know what happens.
