To change the number or the size of your InnoDB redo log files, please follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Stop the MySQL server and confirm that it has shutdown without any errors<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Edit my.cnf to configure innodb_log_file_size <\/em>(log file size) and\u00a0innodb_log_files_in_group\u00a0<\/em>(number of log files)<\/p>\n

If ever InnoDB finds innodb_log_file_size differs from the redo log files, It writes a log checkpoint, closes and removes the old log files, create again new log files at requested size and opens the new log files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
