Ubuntu 12.04 latest update 2013 March 4, on /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[orasis]

hi, a couple of minutes ago my ubuntu brought up some updates in which I was asked to replace my /etc/mysql/my.cnf file with the new one.
I use Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin)) ISPConfig 3.0.5.1

The changes show the following:

45 #
46 # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
47 # localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
48-#bind-address        = 127.0.0.1
  +bind-address        = 127.0.0.1
49 #
50 # * Fine Tuning
51 #
[…]
73 #general_log_file        = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
74 #general_log             = 1
75 #
76-# Error logging goes to syslog due to /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf.
  +# Error log - should be very few entries.
  +#
  +log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
77 #
78 # Here you can see queries with especially long duration
79 #log_slow_queries    = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log

well I know that bind-address should be as it was commented out

#bind-address = 127.0.0.1

but what about this new entry ?:

log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log

what shall I do with it ?
temporarily I got it commented out

thanks for your great help!

Dont think the error log entry will do much.
You can just comment out the bind and go ahead with rest of changes.

If error log grows much, just comment that out too. Nothing critical is lost by not having it.

Thanks for the reply Norman,
..so you think this error log change won't conflict with ispconfig in some way ?

thanks

[till]

The error_log change will not affect ispconfig.
