'how to start rsyslog' varies from system to system (I don't know if you are using Solaris, BSD, Linux, etc)

if you stop rsyslog with your systems normal tools, you can probably start it with 'rsyslogd -c5 -d' to see the debug output

I don't understand your second question.

Would you please guide me how to start it with -d option. Also *.* /somefile 
need be added in rsyslog.conf ?

start it with -d on the command line. it outpus a LOT of stuff

if you have a *.* /somefile the error message may show up in the file.
This is also a good test to see if the problem is with forwarding or with
gathering the logs.

I try to send log messages (/root/ashash.log) to server 190.160.1.100. My 
rsyslog.conf file look like:

$ModLoad imfile

$InputFileName /root/ashash.log
$InputFileTag
$InputFileStateFile
$InputFileSeverity
$InputFileFacility
$InputRunFileMonitor

$ModLoad omfwd
*.* @190.160.1.100:1456

For some reason, it is not working. Please help me. What have I done wrong ?

do you get any errors at startup?

you should not need to load omfwd, try removing that line and then if
needed start in debug mode to see any other errors.
