MariaDB Error 1375: Cannot Purge Binary Logs
Description
This error indicates that the MariaDB server's configuration prevents the purging of binary log files. Binary logs are essential for replication and point-in-time recovery, and this error typically occurs when an attempt to remove old log files is blocked by server settings or policies.
Error Message
Server configuration does not permit binlog purge
Known Causes
4 known causesBinary Log Expiration Disabled
The `expire_logs_days` system variable is explicitly set to 0, preventing automatic or manual purging of binary log files.
Time-based Purging Disabled
The `binlog_expire_logs_seconds` system variable is set to 0, disabling time-based automatic purging of binary logs.
Server in Read-Only Mode
The MariaDB server is running in a read-only state (e.g., `read_only` or `super_read_only` enabled), which restricts administrative write operations like purging binary logs.
Replication Retention Policy
A deliberate server configuration to retain binary logs indefinitely, often required to support replication slaves or specific disaster recovery strategies.
