v29-pre here, but try: mythbackend --help nologserver for detail and then
you've probably got a file in /etc/init called mythtv-backend.conf. Edit
it and add the --nologserver to the mythbackend command line along with
other things already there, like --syslog.

I'd be sure to make a comment in the file like this:
# --nologserver isn't available in 0.28+ (the logserver
# is disabled by default at build time.

There may be a /etc/mythtv/additional.args file available, but I'd
suggest not using it for this because it's easier to forget about.
Going to 16.04 and above switches you to systemd and the default
.service also looks at that file. By putting it in /etc/init,
it will automatically go away.

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlogserver may also be of help.
