my.cnf corrupts Plesk database

I just upgraded to a new Dual Xeon 5520 w/12 Gig ram Linux/Plesk server at ThePlanet.com. I prepared a new my.cnf file based on the one I was using in my previous Plesk server, but when I installed it and restarted the services, the Plesk database got corrupted -- this happens every time and was confirmed by ThePlanet support people. We have to restore to the previously saved version.

However, no one knows which command is causing the problem. All they can tell me is that they think my.cnf file is "too restrictive" for the version of Plesk that I'm running now. Until I figure this out I'm stuck using the default my.cnf file. Please let me know specifically why this my.cnf is corrupting the Plesk database. Thanks!

I feel you have upgraded to 5.1 in new server and then rid off this line
skip-bdb

Then will work.
 
Brilliant!

Thank you so much Ivalics! You saved me a LOT of grief this afternoon. Your solution worked perfectly.
