I don't know if this will help you but try this: # mysqld --help | grep "dir:" basedir: / datadir: /var/lib/mysql/ tmpdir: /tmp/
So, you'll find mysql log files in your datadir (is this case, /var/lib/mysql/). my.cnf is usually at /etc/my.cnf If you don't have it, find a configuration sample file: # find <your_basedir> -name my*.cnf and copy one (which is better for you) to /etc/. Maybe there are better ways to do this... But i think this will do the trick.
