[SLUG] innodb problem

[Mark Munro]

I have installed mysql-max 3.23-51 And edited my.cnf to contain innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:30M:autoextend But innodb fails to fire up. Localhost.err contains: 021016 13:36:04  mysqld started Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set. If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line skip-innodb to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add for example, innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:30M:autoextend But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html /usr/sbin/mysqld-max: ready for connections   Any ideas people Thanks in advance   Mark Munro
