MySQL - disable bin log

Suddenly our forum server unexpectedly give a error message like the web server is dead. So further investigation I found that the /var filesystem is full because of some of the log file size is kinda big. So I plan to disable the bin log file from MySQL which I found that it's quite big :)

1) Find /etc/my.cnf

2) Find the line

log-bin=mysql-bin

3) Comment out the line

4) Restart service
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart
