Delete all logs (something URGENT)

[Danielillo]

Hi,

My server is getting full and I should delete all logs, but I have some questions about it:

1- What logs are used for?
2- Is it safe to delete all of them?
3- I use PhPMyAdmin, how can I delete them?


Thanks,

Daniel.

One more thing

I have 1365572 records at searchindex, Can I delete them also?
What they are used for?

Thanks and sorry for all that questions, but my host told me I had my HDD 86% full.....


Thanks, Daniel.

You don't want to delete the searchindex otherwise the search function won't work on your forums. The only log I know of that's safe to delete is the adminlog and you can do that through your Admin CP. You may need to put your userid in config.php to do this.

// which users are allowed to prune the admin log
// separate each userid with a comma
$canpruneadminlog = "x";

...with 'x' being your userid.

Thanks Steve,

I just tried before with my test forum and I deleted through PhPMyAdmid with "Delete From Adminlog".

Thanks for you help, it is always good to know other ways to do the same thing
