Question

I have a problem with the mysql query-log.

I searched the used my.cnf with https://stackoverflow.com/a/2896718/1012683 and added the line log=/var/log/mysqld_query.log to my.cnf. Then I restartet mysql but there is still no query-log.

Whats wrong here?

Thanks, Flo

You need to set general_log to ‘ON’. see here

Add this in my.cnf and then restart MySQL server:

general_log = 1
log=/var/log/mysqld_query.log

or

SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
