I am currently using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have XAMPP installed on it. From couple of days, Ubuntu sending errors like you have some XX MB left on disk. When I examine I find the error_log file in XAMPP installation contains 1 GB of my disk. So, I like to ask whether it is safe to delete logs in that file, or it will harm to my XAMPP installation. And if it will harm for installation, how should I remove those logs with safe way?

Thank you.

    As it’s name says the error_log file logs apache errors, so if you are in a production environment you may want to backup this file before deleting logs.

    after the backup is done simply empty the file : 

    cat /dev/null > /path/to/your/xampp/apache/error_log

    1GB of log is quite huge you may change the LogLevel value in your apache configurations files.
