Unable to enable InnoDB in mySQL on Ubuntu 10.04
- by spowers
I am trying to enable InnDB on my linux server.  I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 JeOS on an ESX server.  I then installed mySQL and tomcat using aptitude.  However when I use SHOW ENGINES; in mySQL it does not appear that InnoDB was installed.  I then tried following the directions in the documentation.  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb.html  However I get the following when trying to enable a plugin: 
ERROR 1123 (HY000): Can't initialize function 'InnoDB'; Plugin initialization function failed.
I would appreciate some advice as to how to approach this problem.
