Our server has a growing number of mysql-bin.0000x files in the mysql/data folder.
Can these files be deleted? they are growing very quickly and the server is running out of space shortly.
Also we are trying to setup a failover server. When ever we try and replicate the database over for the first time (We are following the steps that are displayed during the installation.) It comes back with an error. Saying that it is unable to start the mysql server (this is on the backup server) what should i do to try and get around this issue?
