I have macports mysql 5, and I disabled the bin logs by commenting this line out:
log-bin=mysql-bin
Then I manually deleted the bin files. After I tried to restart my server I got:
ERROR! MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found!
Starting MySQL
...... ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.
Any ideas?
