When I am trying to check binary log:
SHOW BINARY LOGS;
I get this error:
ERROR 1381 (HY000): You are not using binary logging.
How to resolve this? Can anybody help?

Set the log-bin variable in your MySQL configuration file, then restart MySQL.
An example my.cnf (on Linux/unix) or my.ini (on Windows) would look like:
[client]
...
[mysqld]
...
log-bin=mysql-bin
---
Once restarted, MySQL automatically creates a new binary log (does so upon every restart).
You may also wish to look at the following variables:
server-id = 1
expire_logs_days = 4
sync_binlog = 1
Read details on the MySQL documentation. If you're after replication setup (a primary reason for using binary logs), check out Replication configuration checklist.
