Your problem here is that you must have started MySQL when you had a 5MB transaction log file specified, but you then put a new config file online with a different log file size (256MB), InnoDB complains and dies. You need to delete your old transaction log files (ib_logfile0) then start MySQL and all should be fine. Note: You should only delete your log files when you are absolutely sure MySQL has shut down OK. Best regards, Richard Dale.
