If you change it to 0 or 1, then it starts OK? I'm just wondering if this is unrelated – gbn Feb 9 '12 at 16:03
@golimar I upvoted your comment to check the error log, but it'll be tough for him to run the query if he can't start mysql server. The location of the error log should be in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf (I think that is ubuntu's location...might be /etc/my.cnf) – Derek Downey Feb 9 '12 at 16:03
@gbn Yes, If I comment this option, it works well. – Bruce Dou Feb 10 '12 at 3:30
Please run these queries : 1) show variables like 'version%';, 2) show variables like 'have_innodb';, 3) select * from information_schema.engines where engine='InnoDB';. Display the output of these 3 queries in your question. – RolandoMySQLDBA Feb 10 '12 at 5:19
