I just upgraded MySQL on my Arch box to the latest version (5.1.33-1), and all of a sudden, MySQL won't start. I get the following in my mysql.err file (in /var/lib/mysql): 090412 07:53:21 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist 090412 7:53:21 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it. InnoDB: Error: log file /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 5242880 bytes InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 16777216 bytes! 090412 7:53:21 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error. 090412 7:53:21 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed. 090412 7:53:21 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'innodb_log_arch_dir=/var/lib/mysql' 090412 7:53:21 [ERROR] Aborting 090412 7:53:21 [Warning] Forcing shutdown of 2 plugins 090412 7:53:21 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete 090412 07:53:21 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/lib/mysql/humidor.pid ended I run mysql_upgrade, as instructed, but it also doesn't work. It expects a working daemon of MySQL, which as the above log output attests, isn't available. Can someone help?! Until this upgrade, MySQL has run flawlessly for years. Thanks, Scott
