How do I stop MySQL from logging?

To stop MySQL logs, there are three things that need done.

1. Edit the /usr/local/mysql/var/my.cnf file.
2. Edit the /my.cnf file.
3. Restart the MySQL server.

Items 1 and 2 above are the same task as the file formats are the same for both. To edit the my.cnf or .my.cnf files, edit the following line in notepad or vi.

The lines should look like this:

# Start logging

log

Make them look like this:

# Start logging

#log

Save the file and upload them back to the server. Remember step 3 above.
