Centos – Drupal7 doesn’t detect MySQL on CentOS, but WordPress3 does

The default PHP install is not very useful. The easiest way to get more feature-complete versions of standard unix packages for OSX is to use either MacPorts or Fink. I personally prefer MacPorts, although I think most folks prefer Fink.

Threre is no rotation, because you are using -d option. From manual:

-d Turns on debug mode and implies -v. In debug mode, no changes will be made to the logs or to the logrotate state file.

I have two suggestions:

• Upgrade OS to x86_64 if possible, because you have 2,5GB memory limit per process
• Don't use -pPassword parameter with mysql for security reasons, it's better to use --defaults-extra-file=path_to_extra, which is readable only by root. When somebody, who has access to server execute ps -ef | grep mysql, it will see root password for database.

Here is my logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/mysql script for mysql on CentOS 5 (mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.77, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1):

# If the root user has a password you have to create a
# /.my.cnf configuration file with the following
# content:
#
# [mysqladmin]
# password = <secret>
# user = <username>
#
# where "<secret>" is the password and <username> is user.
#
# ATTENTION: This /.my.cnf should be readable ONLY
# for root !
/var/log/mysqld.log {
        create 640 mysql mysql
        notifempty
        missingok
        postrotate
                # just if mysqld is really running
                if test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin && \
                   /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/root/mysql/logrotate.cnf ping &>/dev/null
                then
                   /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/root/mysql/logrotate.cnf flush-logs
                fi
                /usr/bin/chcon -u system_u -r object_r -t mysqld_log_t /var/log/mysqld.log
        endscript
