Re: [Maria-discuss] failed to initialize plugins error

So, when I start mysqld, I get the error:

"[ERROR] Failed to initialize plugins."

I think this means that the plugin init function of a static plugin (or dynamic, but static seems more likely in this case) returned an error. Rather than it failing to load a dynamic plugin (static and dynamic plugins are initialised the same way AFAIK). Maybe the error log will have something, else you'll maybe need to dig out gdb and see where it fails. - Kristian.
