[mythtv-users] mySQL problems

[Shawn]

Hello,

I am just starting with mythtv and so aren't sure what the problem you 
described was.

I do use mysql though.  The mysql docs say  "InnoDB provides MySQL with a 
transaction-safe (ACID compliant) storage engine with commit, rollback, 
and crash recovery capabilities" and "From MySQL version 4.0 the InnoDB 
storage engine is enabled by default. "

I use 4.x but not InnoDB and have never set anything related to it and it 
has worked just fine.  AFAIK though it shouldn't be necessary to have that 
for mythtv.  In fact, my tables are all MyISAM.

> Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.

Anyway, the link below will explain how to deal with the InnoDB aspects of 
mysql.  I would think you could disable it...
