Install problem: log file issue
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!

It could be that your my.cnf isn't being read (permissions or in the wrong directory), or that you have multiple my.cnf files. Quoting csego...@gmail.com csego...@gmail.com: That is intentional.

Andy, Thanks for the suggestion. my_print_defaults mysqld indicates that it is reading my my.cnf. Furthermore, I have tried both the log and log-output variables in my.cnf with no success.

Re: Install problem: log file issue
I haven't looked into it in detail an don't have time right nw, but it is also hardcoded in mysqld_safe.
