Hello, ich just tried to update from 3.1.14p2 to 3.1.15. I get an error while creating the backup : Shall the script create a ISPConfig backup in /var/backup/ now? (yes,no) [yes]: Creating backup of "/usr/local/ispconfig" directory... Creating backup of "/etc" directory... Checking ISPConfig database .. OK mysql: unknown variable 'general_log_file=/var/log/mysql/mysql.log' Unable to call mysql command line with credentials from mysql_clientdb.conf Any idea what this can be ? regards, Ralph
Is your database software the one that is shipped with your OS or is it taken from other third party repository?
Seems as if you changed something in mysql/mariadb config files which broke the database system. Search for the mentioned line "general_log_file=/var/log/mysql/mysql.log" in the mysql or mariadb config files and comment it out.
Then search further for duplicates of this line. Mysql would not complain about it if it is commented out.
I found an other file and commented ist out, now it works. THANKS !!! Should I leave it now commented out ?
Yes. The error that you got is directly from mysql, its not an ispconfig error. It means that this config option may not be added where you found it now.
