Hello NG-
I'm using mysql 5.0.22 as packaged (and updated) with Ubuntu Dapper.
I would like to use Innodb, but "show innodb status" says "ERROR 1235
(42000): Cannot call SHOW INNODB STATUS because skip-innodb is
defined". However, there is no skip-innodb in anywhere in
/etc/mysql/my.cnf. I found a file called /etc/mysql/debian.cnf which
appears to be used as a defaults file for behind-the-scenese stuff. It
doesn't mention skip-innodb. I've checked /etc/init.d/mysql and it has
no reference to skip-innodb.
I've googled the issue, and can't find anything. Am I missing
something?
