Hi there,I hope someone can help. Due to they way my HD has been sliced I had to move mysql database to /usr/local/mysql. All works fine. Last week I added this entry #expire bin logs expire_logs_days = 7 to /usr/local/mysql/my.cnf I restarted the MySQL server and now I have been waiting for the binlogs to automatically expire but this is not happening: $ ls -l /usr/local/mysql -r--r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 4954 Oct 1 07:30 my.cnf drwx------ 2 mysql mysql 1536 Sep 27 07:10 mysql -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073745213 Sep 2 04:07 mysql-bin.000047 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073746878 Sep 7 03:48 mysql-bin.000048 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073745707 Sep 11 20:07 mysql-bin.000049 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 175527890 Sep 12 08:32 mysql-bin.000050 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 128272 Sep 12 08:40 mysql-bin.000051 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073745119 Sep 17 04:35 mysql-bin.000052 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073747657 Sep 22 04:26 mysql-bin.000053 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073744456 Sep 27 03:28 mysql-bin.000054 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 986782722 Oct 1 07:32 mysql-bin.000055 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1073742442 Oct 6 04:18 mysql-bin.000056 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 536487381 Oct 8 07:45 mysql-bin.000057 -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 209 Oct 6 04:18 mysql-bin.index Do you have any idea why? Or if /usr/local/mysql/ is a correct location for my.cnf file? Perhaphs it should go to /usr/local/etc/ ? If it matters, I use $ pkg_info -Ix mysql-s mysql-server-5.0.67 Multithreaded SQL database (server) from ports.
What's the output from running this SQL: "SHOW BINARY LOGS ;" ? MySQL can get confused if you physically move the data directory-- especially if you set the logging directory explicitly in my.cnf rather than just accepting the default location.
Look at the mysql-bin.index file -- it's pure ascii text -- and
it should list all the known binlog file names. If what you have doesn't
correspond with reality, then stop the mysql process, edit
that index file back into sanity and restart mysql. Easy.
Cheers,
Matthew
