I'm trying to enable binary logging on my MySQL server (3.23.28-gamma-log), per the recommendations in the manual about properly backing up the database.
In my /etc/my.cnf I have: [mysqld] log-bin=updates I had also tried just: [mysqld] log-bin But no update log file is being created in my data dir. Looking at the .err log reveals: 020125 03:16:38 mysqld started 020125 3:16:38 Server id is not set - binary logging disabled What does this refer to, and how can I fix it?
