Deleted mysql binary log files - can't start mysql

Hi all,
I had mysql running and used it for quite a while.
Since my disk ran out of space, I deleted all the mysql-bin.0000* files in the mysql data folder and configured that mysql should not use binary logs anymore.
Quite a mistake I assume; since now I can't start mysql(d) anymore.
I've tried a lot by now:
- re-installed mysql
- deleted everything in the mysql data folder
But I'm a bit stuck - and can't repair it anymore.. (there is not data loss, everything is backed up - that's not the problem).
Can someone please guide me in a good direction?
Running Arch Linux (systemd).
systemctl status mysqld:
Mar 08 13:12:34 arch systemd[1]: mysqld.service: control process exited, code=exited status=203
Mar 08 13:12:34 arch systemd[1]: Failed to start MySQL database server.

Mar 08 13:12:34 arch systemd[1]: Unit mysqld.service entered failed state
Mar 08 14:32:24 arch systemd[1]: Stopped mysqld.service.
The data folder /var/lib/mysql is totally empty (which is - I assume - not good...).
Thanks in advance
Disclaimer: I tried for many hours now, but since I'm quite new - I don't have a clue anymore what to do.

These are systemd, not mysql errors, and are quite useless as such -- you already know that mysql does not work Look for /var/log/mysqld.log or $datadir/<hostname>.err -- next time, of course, 'cos there's just one thing to do now: restore your mysql data folder, as there should be much more than binary logs Or, should you prefer to start from scratch, try to use mysql_install_db and then start mysql again.
For future reference, you can safely delete old binary logs from inside mysql using PURGE MASTER LOGS command, and/or consider using expire_logs_days config option.

  • Accidently Deleted Online Redo Log Files

    Dear friends
    Just to give a try, I deleted online redo log files from the disk after clearn shutdown (In Test Environment Not A Production Database), then i started the dabase, I know we need atleast two online redo files for database to work properly. now my point of question is how can i create new online redo files ?
    I have 2 redo logfile groups each with one member. In group 2 i have added new member for the deleted one using add logfile member ....... to group 2. but when i try todo the same to add logfile member to group1 I am not abale to do so. because its saying that this is the current logfile member. then I tried manual log switching to use next logfile member but database is not allowing as the database is just mounted not opened. plsease if any body helps me out to sort out this problem it will be a great help.

    recover database until cancel Enter
    then I select the cancel option when it provide the user with the options
    after cancelling the recover i issued the following command
    alter database open resetlogs;
    this method sorted out my problem
    anyway very very thanks for ur root hints from where i got the Idea to recover online redo logfiles

  • Log files can be applied after an offline backup is restored?

    When reading the Admin Guide I see above possibility.
    I guess in that case the offline backup must be done in the Database Maintenance Mode: QUIESCE.
    I think if the offline backup is done after the DB is shutdown, no log files can be applied.
    Would you please confirm and share your experience on this?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Jennifer,
    only to complete the answer of Jens, or "say" it less complex:
    1.) Yes you could roll forward an offline backup. DB2 always end in rollforward pending state after a restore independent of the backup type (online | offline). In case of an offline backup you could complete the restore without logs, otherwise not.
    2.) The offline backup is done in a special mode, it is neither online nor quiesced. Nobody can log on to the database as long the offline backup is running. To start the offline backup, you have to deactivate the database as described by Jens.
    Best regards

  • Delete concurrent manager log files

    hai,
    can i delete manually concurrent log files($APPLCSF) tell me the command .
    just last 3 days log files is enough . and then above log and out file .
    how can u remove these log and out files for specific reqiurment
    . in linux flatform
    regards
    dba

    what problem occur if i delete log files at os levelThere should be no issues, but as stated above this can be done by the concurrent request so why to bother yourself and do it manaully?
    If you delete log/out files manaully from the OS for some requests which have not been purged from the tables, then you will not be able to access the log/out file of that request from the application.

    We are having issues trying to find the futuretense.txt log file in the latest 11g jump start kit (not the 7.6 version). Has anyone gone through this issue?
    Thanks,

    Oops, sorry for that one. It was an easy one.
    In the developer guide you can see that the log file is located in the logs folder of the webcenter sites root folder installation and its name is now sites.log

  • Delete or Move log files

    I know that other person ask about this situation and his question was answered. I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 running out of space, critical. Can I also move or delete the log files in the following folders to other partition or disk
    drive, safely:
    C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC2
    C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC858119008
    C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC2124070646
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi
    Yes, it's only log file. For security measure you can just move them to an archive location too.

  • Which log file can be removed safely?

    The directory /private/var/log uses about 4.5 Gig of disk space, about half of which is used by /private/var/log/asl.
    My question now is: which of these can I delete?
    I assume, I can't delete the files *.log.
    But what about *.log.bz2 - they should be OK to delete, shouldn't they?
    And what about the files in /private/var/log/asl ?
    Thanks a lot in advance for all insights.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    You're welcome. If the computer is not shut down, they are set to run in the middle of the night, or when the computer next wakes up. It's really easy to run the scripts in Terminal. Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) for that runaway process.

  • Log files can't be removed automatically in HA environment

    Hi BDB experts,
    I am writing db HA application based on bdb version 4.6.21. Two daemons run on two machines, one as master which will read/write db, one as client/backup will only read db. There is one thread in master daemon that run checkpoint every 1 second: dbenv->txn_checkpoint(dbenv, 1, 1, 0), and dbenv->log_archive(dbenv, NULL, DB_ARCH_REMOVE) will be called after runnng checkpoint each time. The env was open with flag: DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_TXN |  DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_REGISTER | DB_RECOVER | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_THREAD  | DB_INIT_REP;   Autoremove flag was set by: envp->set_flags(uid_dbs.envp, DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE, 1) before open env.
    I found this thread https://forums.oracle.com/message/10945602#10945602 which discussed about non-ha environment, and I tested my code in a non-ha env without DB_INIT_REP, it worked. However in HA env those log files were never removed. Could you help on this issue? Does the client need to run checkpoint? May there be a bdb bug?
    Thanks,

    There is one thread in master daemon that run checkpoint every 1 second: dbenv->txn_checkpoint(dbenv, 1, 1, 0), and dbenv->log_archive(dbenv, NULL, DB_ARCH_REMOVE) will be called after runnng checkpoint each time. The env was open with flag: DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_TXN |  DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_REGISTER | DB_RECOVER | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_THREAD  | DB_INIT_REP;   Autoremove flag was set by: envp->set_flags(uid_dbs.envp, DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE, 1) before open env.
    I am not saying that this is causing a problem, but doing the DB_ENV->log_archive(DB_ARCH_REMOVE) in your thread and setting DB_ENV->set_flags(DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE) is redundant. In your thread, you control the timing. The DB_ENV->set_flags(DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE) option checks for and removes unneeded log files when we create a new log file.
    Did you see in the documentation for DB_ENV->set_flags(DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE) that we don't recommend doing automatic log file removal with replication? Although this warning is not repeated in DB_ENV->log_archive(DB_ARCH_REMOVE), it also applies to this option. You should reconsider using this option, particularly if it is possible that your client could go down for a long time.
    But this is only a warning and automatic log removal should work. My first thought here is to ask whether your client has recently gone through a sync? Internally, we block archiving on the master during some parts of a client sync to improve the chances that we will keep around all logs needed by the syncing client. We block archiving for up to 30 seconds after the client sync.
    I found this thread https://forums.oracle.com/message/10945602#10945602 which discussed about non-ha environment, and I tested my code in a non-ha env without DB_INIT_REP, it worked. However in HA env those log files were never removed.
    This thread is discussing a different issue. The reason for our warning in BDB 4.6 against using automatic log removal with replication is that it doesn't take into account all the sites in your replication group, so we could remove a log from the master that a client still needs.
    We added replication group-aware automatic log removal in BDB 5.3 Replication Manager, and this discussion is about a change of behavior from this addition. With this addition, we no longer need to recommend against using automatic log removal with replication in BDB 5.3 and later releases.
    Could you help on this issue? Does the client need to run checkpoint? May there be a bdb bug?
    I'm not sure the client needs to run its own checkpoints because it performs checkpoints when it receives checkpoint log records from the master.
    But none of the log removal options on the master does anything to remove logs on the client. You will need to perform steps to archive logs separately on the client and the master.

  • Deleting Clamxav-scan.log file

    I have uninstalled the clamx antivirus software but It still does this logging thing on Firefox every morning at 4am. It's really annoying. So I found the file that actually does the logging in user/Library/Logs/clamXav-scan.log. So is it safe for me to delete that and will it stop doing the logging?

  • At least one of the input binary log files contain fewer than two data samples.

    Hi Guys,
    I encountered this error, when I stop the my defined collection set and try to see the related report in Performance Monitor. I searched on the Internet says that a fast start/stop man end without enough counter data being collected. However, it seems not
    the case in my scenario. I set the sample interval to 15 seconds (default) and run the collection set more than 1.5 days.
    By the way, I monitor the Windows Server 2008 SP1 server on a remote Windows 7 SP1, both of them are 64-bits. Only general performance counters are added such as CPU, DISK related. I am looking forward to your help. Thanks in advance.
    P.S. I forgot to say, I set up a same data collector on the local computer (Windows 7 box), this does not happen. So, I believe I must has some configuration issues for remote monitor.
    Please mark replies as helpful or answers if they are helful, doing so can help others encountering the similar issue.

    Hi,
    It works locally but  not remotely. I monitor Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Enterprise 64-bit) remotely on Windows 7 SP1 (Ultimate, 64-bit), I start PerfMon using a domain account which is local administrator on both server boxes. I get a .cab files
    for each data collection set, size from 1KB to 3KB. The sample internal is default 15 seconds and I believe the data collection set was started for more than 15 seconds or even hours. Here are steps to reproduce this issue:
    On Win7 box, open performance monitor (PerfMon)
    Connect to the remote WinSrv box
    Create a data collection set, and add the following counters using default 15 seconds sample internal
     Processor(*)\% Privileged Time
     Processor(*)\% Processor Time 
    Save and Start data collection set
    After more than 15 seconds or even hours, I get the above error message.
    Thanks in advance.
