hi,
I am referring "Innodb startup options" and "my.cnf file options" as in
the manual.
Till this I have installed the MyQSL-Max-3.23.47 and mysql-max daemon is
running. I can go to mysql command prompt.
mysql> show variables like "have_innodb";
+---------------+----------+
| Variable_name | Value    |
+---------------+----------+
| have_innodb   | DISABLED |
+---------------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I am wanting to enable have_innodb feature.

I am in trouble because whatever given in the manual to set the
configuration file my.cnf for enabling innodb is not like it is
appearing. I am going to give you more details as in some of the
outputs..so please help me out. I have to configure it very urgently.

1. I have found the files my-xxxx.cnf at /usr/doc/MySQL-3.23.47 ( and at
. I have uncommented the variable  
   (please, see the file o/p below)

        innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:1000M ( what is ibdata1 ????? do
I need to create this.?? )      innodb_data_home_dir = /var/lib/mysql/

        then, I have renamed one of the my-xxxx.cnf file to my.cnf and
copied it to the /etc/ . but    if I do this and try to go to mysql
command prompt still I am getting 

     mysql> show variables like "have_innodb";
        +---------------+----------+
        | Variable_name | Value    |    
        +---------------+----------+
        | have_innodb   | DISABLED |
        +---------------+----------+
        1 row in set (0.00 sec)
        
      What does it shows !! still innodb not enabled ? How do I ensure
the innoDB that it has been     enabled ? do I need to do more changes
in the my.cnf file ? or I have to place it at more the  one directories?
Please, do the needful..?

Thanks and regards,
Chetan Lavti

Indeed.

In exactly the same way. You can run the above query from your
application too, no prob. For instance:
    SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "have_innodb"
If the result set contains at least 1 row and the "Value" (2nd) column
of the result set is "YES", then you know that InnoDB is enabled in the
server.

What do you mean?
