All helps verry welcome.. any idea to fix this?

UPDATE: Problem solved, solution:

Use my.cnf.rpmnew as my.cnf and mysqld will start OK

This are the optional needed lines for virtuozzo vps:

[ndbd]
# If you are running a MySQL Cluster storage daemon (ndbd) on this machine,
# adjust its connection to the management daemon here.
# Note: ndbd init script requires this to include nodeid!
connect-string="nodeid=2;host=localhost:1186"

[ndb_mgm]
# connection string for MySQL Cluster management tool
connect-string="host=localhost:1186"

Your problem was the skip-bdb command in my.cnf. I would suggest looking at the wiki page.

You'll need to provide credentials to connect to MySQL and have mysql_upgrade do its work:



If you haven't run this yet, you'll probably want to do it now.
