I'm on a Win32 server, but I'm hoping from the error log contents that the question
isn't Windows-specific.
I'm having a Very Bad Day trying to upgrade a MySQL server from 4.0.18 to 4.1.5.
After several problems resolved, I'm almost there--got the new engine to recognize the
old dbs, etc. But now, after what I thought would be an ordinary removal/reinstall of
the daemon (most of the problems related to the new daemon picking up defaults from an
install into another location), the Win service won't start.
Here's the relevant section of the error log:
InnoDB: Error: log file .\ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 19922944 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 5242880 bytes!
041014 18:20:37 [ERROR] Can't init databases
041014 18:20:37 [ERROR] Aborting
041014 18:20:37 [NOTE] MySQL: Shutdown complete
(Trying to start the service from Windows gives Error 1037)
Can I edit the cnf file? Clear the InnoDB logfile?
I'm getting pretty desperate--site's been down a long time. Any help much
appreciated. --Chris
