Some configuration file errors not logged

[Andrew Hutchings]

Rackspace bug.

In some cases errors caused by problems in configuration files are not logged

This one, it turns out - is gonna be slightly tricky. I will get to it - but not today.

Here's an example:

root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# cat drizzled.cnf
mysql-protocol.port = 3307
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# service drizzle stop
drizzle stop/waiting
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# ps aux | grep drizzled.cnf
root 21749 0.0 0.0 8952 880 pts/8 S+ 00:47 0:00 grep --color=auto drizzled.cnf
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# ps aux | grep drizz
root 21761 0.0 0.0 8952 876 pts/8 S+ 00:47 0:00 grep --color=auto drizz
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# service drizzle start
drizzle start/running, process 21770
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# ps aux | grep drizz
root 21782 0.0 0.0 8952 876 pts/8 S+ 00:47 0:00 grep --color=auto drizz
root@walterheck-tecra:/etc/drizzle# tail /var/log/syslog -n30

Just to clarify, I was on Ubuntu Meerkat, and it turns out that doesn't have the mysql-protocol for drizzle installed by default.
