Hi Gerald,
I am sure I don't have this in my my.cfg. I am using the supplied
'large table' my.cfg. The *only* innodb option I have is the command
line parameter to mysqld:
--innodb
If anybody has any other options about how to get innodb working in
5.1.9, I'd be very interested!
Thanks for the advise,
Ben
