If you are trying to configure a log file and get

{{{
could not use mysql.log for logging [error 13]
}}}

!!Mac

Make sure the directory {{/var/log/mysql}} and all subsequent files are owned by (and only by) {{_mysql}}.

!!Linux

Make sure the directory {{/var/log/mysql}} and all subsequent files are owned by (and only by) {{mysql}}.
