mysqld can't start after adding a value.

[jackop]

I modified my.cnf by adding the lines below,

set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=100M
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=50M

and then I restarted mysqld, but it failed.

Does anybody know what 's the cause?

 

[eilko]

make sure they are below the [mysqld] statement and in the form of :

innodb_buffer_pool_size=100M

This is the same problem I'm having. Doesn't matter where I put the variables or which format I use, MySQL will not restart. When I look at the error log, it says "unrecognized option --wait_timeout=15" How could it not recognize this variable?
