any idea where, by default, would mysql log file be? Just tried to do a restore of a database dump but it prompt error, but not detailed.
Because I check my.cnf, it shows /var/log/mysqld.log but that file is empty...
also.. is there another .conf file for mysql, where more options/configurations can be made? because i did a show variables in mysql and it showed many settings.. i suppose i can change them...
Try /var/db/mysql and /var/mysql as locations for the log. The MySQL logs only log program errors, not errors in your SQL syntax or anything like that. It might help if you posted the error message.
The config file is usually located in /etc/my.conf but that location can be changed.
