Re: PID and LOG file

[Michael Dykman]

mysqld_safe might not know where your config file is located.  You can
specify it's location at the command line with
--defaults-file=file_name

alternatively, you could specify the location of your log file thus:
--log-error=file_name

 other options found at
   http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqld-safe.html
