InnoDB Failure of some kind I have MySQL 5.5 installed. I tried to install Joolma but it failed. I went into their sql and replace EGNINE=InnoDB with MyISAM and the install worked.

InnoDB is listed under SHOW ENGINES;

Any idea what the cause is or how to fix this so other InnoDB sites can be used?

I had these errors:

MySQL ERROR No: 1030
MysqL Error: Got error -1 from storage engine
check your my.cnf file to see if there is anything force innodb to recover 

force_innodb_recovery


take a look to this topic that talk about similar problem Got error -1 from storage engine

or make sure the /tmp partition or the partition the MySQL databases are stored on is not full.
