Raffaele, if you do not set binlog_do_db and binlog_ignore_db then all databases are logged. > > Try not to use binary logs or set parameters correctly for them.

Tom, The warning is in the config file itself. However I do not believe that Raffaele's advice is correct; you ARE doing binary logging; you have bin_log set and there are clearly binary logs in your /var/log/mysql directory. The parameter that Raffaele speaks of, binlog_do_db, does not enable/disable binary logging. bin_log does that. You are safe to leave binlog_do_db and binlog_ignore_db commented if you intend to log all or nothing. How did it go with the changing ownership of files that I recommended?
