Description of problem:
When I start mysqld, the following appears in my /var/log/mysqld.log
Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
skip-innodb
to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld]
section, for example,
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware
the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at
http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mysql-server-3.23.58-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service mysqld stop
2. service mysqld start

    

Actual Results:  See above.

Expected Results:
No message about InnoDB in the log.

Additional info:
my.conf is the default installed.  Adding skip-innodb to the [mysqld]
section stops the warning message.  However it would disable any
innodb databases if I had any.
Comment 1 Patrick Macdonald 2003-11-21 18:01:13 UTC 
These are just warning/informational messages that have been
in MySQL for some time.  MySQL is built with InnoDB support and the
user has to do a little setup work.
