title: Enable general logging mysql 5.6.14
body: <p>I have mysq 5.6.14 and centos 6.4. In /etc/my.cnf I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[mysqld]
  sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES
  bind-address=127.0.0.1
  character-set-server=utf8
  init-connect="SET NAMES utf8"
  skip-character-set-client-handshake
  general_log=1
  general_log_file=/var/log/mysql
  log-output=file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I make a mistake in my.cnf I cant restart mysql (service mysql restart). It means that mysql reads this file. However I don't have /var/log/mysql file. What is my mistake?</p>
