It’s also worth noting that you should check the permissions on mysqld.log. I’m running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and had to manually change the owner of the file to _mysqld: `sudo chown _mysqld /var/log/mysqld.log`

Cheers!

according to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/query-log.html
“As of MySQL 6.0.8, –log and -l are deprecated”

had to edit the my.cnf like this:

[mysqld]
general_log=1
general_log_file=”/var/log/mysqld.log”
