Wamp Orange MySQL problem

It is my first time installing and the MySQL services won't start. The error I get according to the event viewer is "InnoDB: File .\ib_logfile0: 'aio read' returned OS error 187. Cannot continue operation". Any thoughts on how to correct this?

I have seen a few of these reported recently, so I had a bit of a think and a good look around.

The MySQL people decided to make INNODB the default database engine in MySQL 5.5.5

Unfortunately the guys at AlterWay seem to have missed that fact and the my.ini file is still delivered with the INNODB parameter commented out like when MYISAM was the default database engine.

Also the INNODB database engine though superior in many ways to MYISAM does require that the person using it actually understands it and how to ensure its continued smooth operation, backups/restores and recovery.

So it is a little dangerous to deliver it in this way to a large part of their target audience i.e. total beginners.

Anyway, to a solution :

As you have just installed WAMPServer I suggest you UnInstall it, using the WIndows Uninstall
Then manually delete the \wamp folder and all its contents.
Then reinstall it.

Do not tick the "Start Now" option at the end of the install, just finish the install
With an editor, edit \wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\my.ini

Add this line, after the [wampmysqld] or [wampmysqld64] section heading
[wampmysqld64]
#My local changes
default-storage-engine=MYISAM

Then try and start WAMPServer again.

This does not stop you using INNODB database, but it does mean you will have to specify that engine type on a CTEATE statement otherwise it shoudl use MYISAM.

I tried it and unfortunately it still does not work. However I toyed around a bit and added an older version of MySQL. I was able to get an error log.
