Nils,

most probably you have some other difference in the my.cnf files.

Heikki

Hi Heikki,

Thank you for the reply. I understand that this is related to the host.frm.
Thank you very much. The part which I don't get is why would a standard
my.cnf file (skipping innodb) start up and the my.cnf file containing the
innodb settings give me such an error ?

I understood your advice and I am in process of repairing this, however I
would really appreciate if I could also technically understand why this is.
This case I can learn and step up ;-) Do you mind explaining why this is ?

Best regards

Nils Valentin
