I did find the entries in /var/log/daemon and /var/log/syslog. However this is what threw me off before:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server- options.html#option_mysqld_log explicitly says: Log errors and startup messages to this file. See Section 5.2.1, “The Error Log”. If you omit the filename, MySQL uses host_name.err. If the filename has no extension, the server adds an extension of .err. So it seems that the syslog behavior is different from what documentation says. -- No log file created when log_error is not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OurDelta- developers, which is the registrant for OurDelta. Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL: New Bug description: It took me a while to narrow down why I didn't see any logs or activity in the logs after upgrading to the OurDelta MySQL build. I didn't have log_error set and the default wasn't working. Once I set log_error = /var/log/mysql.log then I started seeing messages showing up when restarting mysqld. I did check both the /var/log and the mysql data directory. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
