I am getting the errors below when trying to start MYSQL. I've deleted both the ./ib_logfile0 and ./ib_logfile1 files and still no success. I'm assuming is has something to do with not being able to write to the temp file but I don't know the location of that directory.

  • Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB That means you have an error the my.cnf file usually located in /etc/mysql/ – RPM May 27 '14 at 20:05
  • I used my backup my.cnf file from before the problems occured, didn't work for me though. – xjx424 May 27 '14 at 20:07
  • 1. Is /tmp writable? 2. Isn't the disk full? (df -h /tmp) – Jeroen S May 27 '14 at 22:15
  • That was the problem, /tmp was not writable. – xjx424 Jun 5 '14 at 13:37

Errcode: 13 means Access denied. Assuming MySQL is trying to create a file in /tmp, which is 777 I guess this is incorrect configuration of either selinux or apparmor (on Debian systems).

Try to disable selinux

    echo 0 >/selinux/enforce

If it doesn't help, stop apparmor (if you run Debian or Ubuntu)

    # /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
    # /etc/init.d/apparmor teardown
