Mysql – How to enable MySQL logging

I am running MySQL 5.0.45 on OS X 10.6.1 and I cannot get MySQL to log anything. I am debugging an application and need to see all queries and errors.

I added to the etc/my.cnf:

[mysqld]
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
log = /var/log/mysqld.log
log-error = /var/log/mysqld.error.log

I used sudo to create two log files, set permissions to 644, then restarted MySQL.

I referred to Where is my mysql log on OS X? in order to troubleshoot.

Running:

ps auxww|grep [m]ysqld

Returns:

_mysql      71   0.0  0.8   646996  15996   ??  S     7:31PM   0:01.10 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/var --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/var/Macintosh-41.local.pid
_mysql      46   0.0  0.0   600336    744   ??  Ss    7:30PM   0:00.03 /bin/sh /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe

And running:

$(ps auxww|sed -n '/sed -n/d;/mysqld /{s/.* \([^ ]*mysqld\) .*/\1/;p;}') --verbose --help|grep '^log'

Returns:

log                               /var/log/mysqld.log

log-update                        (No default value)
log-warnings                      1

Running:

mysql> show variables like '%log%';

Returns:

Any help on how I can get MySQL to log?
