Hah. I suspect the machine was running when it crashed - that is, the mysql was shut down uncleanly?
You can safely ignore the mysql.plugin bit for the moment - that's for when it's booted properly. It looks like the newer InnoDB has trouble reading your ibdata file. Possible causes: * Are all the files in the right place as referenced by your my.cnf ? * Does the user the daemon run as have proper permissions to access the files? If in doubt, set the files to read/write for everyone. * Possible physical file corruption - did your old server die from a bad disk? It's also possible that the newer InnoDB recovery code is unable to properly handle the older file format. I strongly suggest to figure out what the old version was and set that up to attempt recovery, and only upgrade based off cleanly closed datafiles, with innodb_fast_shutdown set to 0 - see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_fast_shutdown for info on that. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
