Same task as before, different database. I have been doing some development over the last few days with Rails and MySQL. To cut a long story short I wanted to have a look at what queries were being sent to the database. This post describes one way of turning on logging for MySQL. I did all of this on Mac OS X so your mileage may vary.
- Create the log file
> su > cd /var/log > touch mysqld.log > chown mysql mysqld.log - Edit
/etc/my.cnf[mysqld] log = /var/log/mysqld.log - Restart the database
If you installed the MySQL Startup Item then you can restart the server simply by running:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM restartJob done!
