Problem
mysqld fails to start.
Errors
# /etc/init.d/mysql start * Checking mysqld configuration for mysql ... 2015-06-29 15:22:32 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ambiguous option '--log=/var/log/mysql/mysql.log' (log-bin, log_slave_updates) 2015-06-29 15:22:32 0 [ERROR] Aborting
2015-06-29 15:22:32 0 [Note] Binlog end * mysql config check failed * ERROR: mysql failed to start [ !! ]
solution
Root cause is the use of a deprecated my.cnf configuration option. In this case it was the log setting.
Change the following old config line
log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
to
general-log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
restart mysqld
