Setting the general log file in my.ini

[Dean Richert]

How do I set the general log file in my.ini? I am using XAMP on Windows.

I can do it using this command from the console:
SET GLOBAL general_log_file = "C:/xampp/mysql/data/g_log.log";

But if I set the same thing in my.ini:
general_log = ON
general_log_file = "C:/xampp/mysql/data/g_log.log"

The line
general_log = ON
works
but the second line
general_log_file = "C:/xampp/mysql/data/g_log.log"
is ignored, and whatever setting was set last is what is used.
