MYSQL051 install problems

[beaudoin_p]

I have also posted this to the VMS-MYSQL list:

I have managed to install MYSQL 051 successfully up to the point of running 'first_start' - I get this error:


first_run_mysqld
InnoDB: Error: auto-extending data file /mysql051_root/data/ibdata1 is
of a different size
InnoDB: 640 pages (rounded down to MB) than specified in the .cnf file:
InnoDB: initial 6400 pages, max 0 (relevant if non-zero) pages!
InnoDB: Could not open or create data files.

I have not changed my.cnf - simply copied the template (with suggested security settings). I reviewed it but couldn't see any reason to modify it.

Is the line: Default storage engine (InnoDB) is not available the big clue? InnoDB should be available (assuming it is on default) and according to MY.CNF, it is the default engine used for create.

I assume it is trying to 'convert' the existing data from the older MYSQL here - that would be an unexpected bonus- I set up in such a way I can recreate the DB tables easily but then ran into a problem restoring the data:

I save the contents with MYSQL export statements and reload with MYSQL LOAD statements. This works in the older version just fine. ...
The LOAD statement produce errors (wrong size IIRC) and can't be restored under 051. In a pinch, I could re-format those statements into 'INSERT' statements easily enough (this works) but this is now getting a bit complicated. So, the original question: Have I somehow disallowed InnodDB tables?

Many thanks for any pointers
