Hi ,,
It would be helpful if you could share the error messages.
Do any of these:
1) Add these lines to my.cnf file:
expire_logs_days = 7
2) Or Try this
log-bin=OFF
or simply u can comment the lines related to the log-bin.
3) Other than this,
if you are using server-id=1 in the my.cnf file,
Try running RESET MASTER in the mysql prompt.
Hope it woks
Do share the error message if possible.
Thanks.
