Hi!
I have upgraded my OpenSuSE-11.4 to 12.1 which includes an upgrade of my mysql from 5.1 to 5.5 and I have made a big mistake and not made an mysqldump of my database.
Unfortunately now my mysql isn’t starting and I get the message:
120409 16:27:38 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
120409 16:27:38 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins

120409 16:27:39 [ERROR] mysqld: unknown option ‘–skip-locking’
120409 16:27:39 [ERROR] Aborting
Unfortunately, with google I do not find a solution of the problem. Does anybody know how to fix it? Where can I fix the --skip-locking?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
OK, I have found the place: /etc/my.cnf in section [mysqld]. I have removed the option, and now it is working.
