MySQL 4.0.18 InnoDB configuration issues on SuSE 9.1 Pro

Hello,

I've tried resolving this issue in a SuSE newsgroup, but after trying
their suggestions and working on this issue for far too long already, I
decided to try this list as it may be a more appropriate discussion area.

I've installed and configured MySQL 4.0.18 on a SuSE 9.1 system using
the default RPM's that came with the distribution.

I created a simple database (one table with InnoDB engine type) and have
tried running some ODBC source against it to test transactions, but I
get the error that the server does not have transactions enabled.

I was directed to enable transactions in the configuration file
(/etc/my.cnf) by uncommenting the lines for innoDb use. However, after
uncommenting these lines and running mysqld from the commandline
(according the online Manual), to generate InnoDB support tables, I get
the following error:

mysqld: ERROR: unknown variable 'innodb_data_ho me_dir=/var/lib/mysql/'

I've tried removing the RPM's and starting from scratch, but cannot get
past this error and successfully test transactions in my unit tests.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
John

John,

Did you ever get an answer for this. I have a similar problem

You've probably discovered this by now, but you need to install the
mysql-max package from YaST to get InnoDB working. Once you've done
that, go to this page for configuration options, which you should add
to /etc/my.cnf

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/in...iguration.html

Hope this helps :-)

Hello, I have a client (customer) who asked the question : "Why would I buy and use UDB, when MySql is free?" I had to say I was stunned. I have no experience with MySql, so I was left sort of stammering and sputtering, and managed to pull out something I heard a couple of years back - that there was no real transaction safety in MySql. In flight transactions could be lost.

Hi there I've noticed some very weird things happening with my current MySQL setup on my XP Laptop, a development machine. For a while, I have been trying to get the MySQL cache to work. Despite entering the required lines to "my.ini" (the new my.cnf) through notepad AND MySQL Administrator, the cache does not work. So, today I took a peek at the 'Health' tab in MySQL Administrator.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
