mysqld not writing to err-log
Hi, mysqld is not writing to err-log and i do not see any log generated upon mysql service restart. In my.cnf = [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.pid open_files_limit=16384 r...@server[~]# ll /var/log/mysqld.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql root 0 Nov 24 2008 /var/log/mysqld.log r...@server[~]# Please advise what i can look for to fix this issue.
Re: mysqld not writing to err-log
It is probably writing to syslog. Try cat /var/log/messages | grep -i mysqld to search for entries made by mysqld.

Re: mysqld not writing to err-log
Hi Rick, It was't a permission issue though. I did compare with another server, that had the same thing working. [r...@server1 mysql]# ls -lh /var/log/mysqld.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql root 60M Jun 16 18:40 /var/log/mysqld.log [r...@server1 mysql]# grep err-log /etc/my.cnf err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log [r...@server1 mysql]# On this server now, I have commented err-log and use log_error , which happily writes to the log file r...@server [~]# grep err-log /etc/my.cnf #err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log r...@server [~]# r...@server [~]# ls -lh /var/log/mysqld.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql root 728 Jun 16 17:51 /var/log/mysqld.log r...@server [~]# err-log was under safe_mysqld, so neither any fault in its position in my.cnf ( http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2006/07/err-log-or-log-error.html) [safe_mysqld] #err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:21 AM, lists-mysql replies-lists-b3z1-my...@listmail.innovate.net wrote: This might be an issue of permissions (/var/log is controlled by root). So, you might try touch-ing /var/log/mysqld.log and setting ownership to mysql.mysql. Then [re-]start mysqld and see if the log gets written to. Related, the logging entry in my my.cnf is log-error= not your err-log=. I haven't looked in the documentation to see if your version should work, but mine does, so you might want to try it. - Rick Original Message Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 11:18:25 PM +0530 From: Madan Thapa madan.feedb...@gmail.com To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: mysqld not writing to err-log Hi, mysqld is not writing to err-log and i do not see any log generated upon mysql service restart.
