1 You are missing a setting in your mysql configuration. Since you have
2 compiled in support for InnoDB, you must either completely configure it, or
3 turn it off. If you do not wish/need to use it, then skip-innodb is the
4 correct choice.

6 If you wish to use InnoDB, you must set a default path for it (even when
7 specifying file per table, which you aren't). The default path is set via
8 the innodb_data_file_path variable, something similar to the following would
9 suffice:
10
11 innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:128M

13 For more information on InnoDB, please see the MySQL manual:
