Make sure that the directory /var/log/mysql exists and is writable by the user 
running the mysql database (typically use mysql).  Make also sure this user 
can write in the logfile /var/log/mysql/mysql.log if there is already such a 
file.
To be sure, you can login as the mysql user (su -c <mysql user> as root will 
do the trick) and try to write to the logfile file with
echo test >> /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
