This is a very simple one.. If you follow the guide exactly, you remove the /var/log/mysql dir in step 3.2 and the mysql initscript would not start the daemon. Ofcourse, no log file would be generated. Either the ebuild should create it for the user, or the guide should be corrected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow the guide up to point 3.4 2. issue the command /etc/init.d/mysql start Actual Results: notice the daemon failing to start [FAILED] -> no explanation in /var/log/messages after checking the /etc/mysql/my.cnf I noticed that there should be a log in /var/log/mysql. Then I noticed the directory was missing. re-created it and voila, mysql was working again. Expected Results: the ebuild should have created /var/log/mysql in my opinion
This is NOT an infrastructure bug. Please make sure you check that the next time you submit a bug.
this should be fixed already, please emerge --sync and try again. If it's not please reopen.
