I just upgraded from MySQL v3.23.56 to v4.0.12 and noticed that I now have
ib_logfile* files appearing in my data directory. The files do have size,
are growing, but mostly contain spaces. :s

According to the manual these files are only supposed to appear when InnoDB
table support has been enabled which I have not done.

Anyone have an idea on how to prevent these files from being created?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jim

Ah, but you *have*. :-)

You upgraded to 4.x. InnoDB support is included by default in MySQL 4.x.

Start the server with the --skip-innodb option. For example, you can put
the option in the [mysqld] group of an option file like C:\my.cnf:

[mysqld]
skip-innodb

Once you restart the server with InnoDB disabled, you can delete
the ib* files.
