Currently the "start" function in the control script of the mysql cartridge removes the mysql.log, which often makes it impossible for users to find the root cause of an outage.
Commit pushed to master at https://github.com/openshift/origin-server https://github.com/openshift/origin-server/commit/05b750de48ade4717faa86ed01d1c3ee79512c7e Bug 1327714: MySQL cartridge removes logs on start The "start" function of start script of the MySQL cartridge removes the mysql.log which is supposed to save some disk space. However, since the log file is removed, it's very difficult, if not impossible, for users to debug any issues with MySQL database. Since the log file removal is unnecessary, the code that is responsible for that is now removed. As a result, the mysql.log file will remain after the "start" function in control script is called. Also, replace an error-log dump with a static message to instruct users to check mysql.log for errors.

Verified in devenv_5785 Feature works in mysql-5.1 and mysql-5.5, could save the mysql.log under $OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR
