In the process of installing MySQL 5.1.31, I receive the following error when I attempt to start mysqld_safe:
090212 10:57:40 mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysqld.log'. 090212 10:57:40 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /app/mysql/data /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 96: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 133: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied 090212 10:57:40 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended /app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 96: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied My my.cnf file reads: # The MySQL server [mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M datadir = /app/mysql/data #data_file_path = /app/mysql/data general_log = 1 general_log_file = /app/mysql/log/ socket = /app/mysql/var/mysql.sock log-error = /app/mysql/log/error.log I thought the general_log_file variable would define the location of the log file, yet mysqld is trying to write the log file to a different directory. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!
