How to find out where or if MYSQL5 logs are stored on a machine WHM/Cpanel
- by moi
I have a WHM/Cpanel re-seller hosting account on a virtual private server (Linux).
I have root access to the machine via SSH
I am trying to locate a file that contains information that will help me to determine which users have accessed what db and from which hosts.
I would imagine this kind of data is stored in a log file somewhere.
The MySQL page says:
The general query log - Established client connections and statements received from clients
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-logs.html
It also says:
By default, all log files are created in the mysqld data directory.
So, I am am NOT asking where are the general query log logs stored, (cos I expect I will get answers saying "it depends")
Please help me work out:
"How can go about finding out where MySQL general query log logs are stored on a linux machine"
Couple of things i've already tried:
I looked at
/etc/my.cnf
it was a tiny file that only contained the following info:
[mysqld]
skip-bdb
skip-innodb
set-variable = max_connections=500
safe-show-database

I have looked in:
/var/lib/mysql/
But I could not see any log-like file names in that directory.
Any clues on this would be most welcome.
