Title:
log_error not set in my.cnf, errors not written anywhere
Status in “mysql-5.5” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “mysql-5.5” source package in Precise:
Triaged
Bug description:
[Impact]
Bugs reported on mysql in Precise are very difficult to triage,
because apport doesn't submit logs and reporters don't even have them
available. Thus this impacts all mysql bugs in Precise, not just this
one.
[Test Case]
1. install mysql-server
2. make sure it is running (service mysql start)
3. mysql -uroot -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error'" -p
- a broken mysql-server will show a blank answer
- fixed package will show '/var/log/mysql/error.log'
4. Check that /var/log/mysql/error.log exists and is non-empty.
[Regression Potential]
Very low, as its just a config file change. People may not have been expecting this file to be written though.
------------
The errors for mysqld in 5.1 packages used to be written to
/var/log/mysql/error.log, but that change was dropped from my.cnf in
the transition to 5.5.
This should be restored so the logs can be written properly.
