Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB | Mysql Ubuntu
- by Kayle
I recently upgraded from the previous LTS Ubuntu to Precise and now mysql refuses to start. It complains of the following when I attempt to start it:
?$ sudo service mysql restart
stop: Unknown instance:
start: Job failed to start
And this shows in "/var/log/mysql/error.log":
120415 23:01:09 [Note] Plugin 'InnoDB' is disabled.
120415 23:01:09 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

I've checked permissions on all the mysql directories to make sure it had ownership and I also renamed the previou ib_logs so that it could remake them. I'm just getting no where with this issue right now, after looking at google results for 2 hours.
