Add “log=/var/log/mysqld.log” under the [mysqld] section of the file “/etc/my.cnf“.

You must restart mysqld for this change to become affective. (service mysqld restart)

The general query log is a general record of what mysqld is doing. The server writes information to this log when clients connect or disconnect, and it logs each SQL statement received from clients. The general query log can be very useful when you suspect an error in a client and want to know exactly what the client sent to mysqld.

mysqld writes statements to the query log in the order that it receives them, which might differ from the order in which they are executed. This logging order contrasts to the binary log, for which statements are written after they are executed but before any locks are released. (Also, the query log contains all statements, whereas the binary log does not contain statements that only select data.)

To enable the general query log, start mysqld with the --log[=file_name] or -l [file_name] option.

If no file_name value is given for --log or -l, the default name is host_name.log in the data directory.
