Mysql (including InnoDB) was working fine, after a restart the other day when mysql starts it says in the logs:

140604 23:36:07 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
140604 23:36:07 [Note] Plugin 'InnoDB' is disabled.

In the app it says:

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1286 Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'

Now, according to google this is a very simple fix, just remove the ib_logfile[0|1] files, which I have done and does not do anything.

I started by making a full copy of the data dir for testing various 'fixes'.

I have also uninstalled mysql and reinstalled it with no change, I just cant get it to run with innodb working anymore :/

# mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.37, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3

I have also tried the innodb_force_recovery setting, 0 -> 6, Any time I run a command on an InnoDB table it says innodb_force_recovery

LOGS (from around the time it died)

was working here
