Buffer Pool Size on Windows 2003 (1 reply)

Hi,
I have a question about setting "innodb_buffer_pool_size" in the my.ini file. I am running Windows 2003 Server with 4GB of RAM, and MySql 5.5.23.

I am trying to set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 2G, however, MySQL won't start. The highest I can set it is 1G. Is there something I should check as to why MySQL won't start with a value higher than 1G?

The error message I receive when I set innodb_buffer_pool_size to something higher than 1G is:

=============================
Trying to start the server ...
Could not re-connect to the MySQL Server.
Server could not be started.

Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

option 'innodb-buffer-pool-size': signed value 0 adjusted to 5242880
