I enabled the innodb_plugin-1.0.4 made the necessary changes into the my.cnf file to bring the innodb plugin into the effect . Restarted MySQL and got the log entry into the MySQL error log InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled , on some checking I got in this page (http://www.innodb.com/doc/innodb_plugin-1.0-doc-single/innodb-plugin.html#innodb-performance-use_sys_malloc) that I need to set
The value of innodb_use_sys_malloc as 0. so I made this entry innodb_use_sys_malloc =0 into the my.cnf and restarted the MySQL and the error was gone , happy MySQling
Thanks
