I am surprised to see that there is no default mysql log file for a UI based software. You still have to go into the config file via shell and make the file and then go into mysql command mode and set it to on in order for it to load at default. Should'nt this all be done within the UI? I wonder how many other log files i will have to manually create to see errors.

  nevermind i found it... /var/lib/mysql/HOSTNAME.err Well thats why because its in the wrong place, its suppose to be in /var/logs thats what its for, so i guess they just stick it any place they want willy nilly and dont even follow the linux structure lol...

  Hello, This is the default path utilized by MySQL. You can find documentation on MySQL logging, including information on how to change the path at: MySQL :: MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual :: 5.4.2 The Error Log Thank you.
