Fixed In Version: openshift-origin-cartridge-mysql-1.31.3.3-1.el6op
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: After the MySQL cartridge is successfully started, the log is automatically removed as a part of control script. Consequence: The log file is gone and no way to recover it. If there are errors occurred before the cartridge is started, the error log will be lost. This issue makes the debugging process difficult. Fix: The code that is responsible for log file removal is removed from the control script. Result: The log file will persist after the cartridge is started.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1327714 +++

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.

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
