This one should have been easy for the list to advise you about. Let me
step in to keep things on track.
For each instance of MySQL that creates binary logs there will be an
'index' file that keeps track of which files this instance is managing.
For example, if the binary logs are called "mysql-bin.000000", then the
index file will be called "mysql-bin.index"
What has happened is that the contents of the index file no longer
matches the inventory of actual binary logs present on disk. They have
either been moved, erased, or had their permissions changed so that the
system user that the mysqld daemon executes as can no longer see them.
The solution is to manually update the .index file with the current
listing of binary log files. The longer term solution is to stop
manually removing binary log files and allow the system to perform that
for you with a PURGE BINARY LOGS command. When you have MySQL do the
purging, the .index file will be automatically updated.
For more details about the binary log, please read:
