-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nicholas,
the basic problem can be reproduced as follows: configure error logging: [mysqld] log-error = /var/log/mysql/error.log and restart mysql-server chown root /var/log/mysql/error.log mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf flush-logs mysqladmin: refresh failed; error: 'Unknown error' The problem seems to be related in mysqld_safe which under some circumstances creates the log-error file with root as file owner. I definately did not do this on purpose, but it might come from on older 5.1 installation. When you manually fix the file-owner (chown mysql /var/log/mysql/error.log ) the problem disappers. - -snip- regarding mysqld startup: the SVN/experimental fix is basically :ugly: from some discussion on the #mysql.de channel I very likely believe we should not be using mysqld_safe at all, but start the mysqld process directly. Unfortunatelly I did not find the time to write a proposal for an updated init-script yet :( - -snip_ regarding logrotate: problem with logrotate basically is that we do not have any clue which logfiles will be created as this information comes from the mysqld config. - From the distributed my.cnf no logging is done at all. I'll get back to you @IRC as soon as my employee will leave me some time to do so ;-) Cheers B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlAD7EcACgkQABMWRpwdNulOwACfQjwRrVf5FoVHNd9YE58g0pX8 O1cAoMvqld1iAgq7lhE0soh++q2NDdSc =IqZp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
