Hi all, A month or so ago I had a chat on IRC with some of you about an error I was having where mysql couldn't start on my demo system. http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-03-08#i_407411 I am having that issue again. I know I need to do a new install and alot more space, but I don't have time right now because I have a lot of travel coming up. So what I'm wondering is what files I can delete in the log folder - which logs can I get rid of? I have already done as jdavidb said last time and purged the *.gz files. I have a few others files that are pretty darn big. I just need to know what's safe to get rid of. Thanks in advance!
