'Getting error "Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed" when starting MySQL
I found many similar question on Stackoverflow but didn't get the exact error solution. My issue is when starting MySQL service on one of the Dedicated Centos 6.5 machine, I am getting error :

I fixed this issue by following:
- Login to server via SSH with root access.
- Navigate to /var/lib/mysql.
- If you see log files like, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1, rename or move them to some other folder.
- Stop and start the MySQL service by running
sudo service mysql stopandsudo service mysql start
I hope this helps. Thanks

I have the same problems, this my solution:
Add more RAM to the server
Decrease the value of innodb-buffer-pool size in the config file:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 10M
After save /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
Restart mysql service:
sudo service mysql restart
exit

This is frequently occurred issue. Do following -
- delete/move out these "aria_log_contro, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ib_data1" files from location "..\xampp\mysql\data" and also from "..\xampp\mysql\backup".
- stop and start apache server and mysql form xampp control panel
This should fix the issue; actually it worked for me.
NOTE: THIS IS GOING TO RESET THE DB IN MANY CASES BE VERY CAREFUL

Changing the values of innodb_buffer_pool_size and innodb_log_file_size didn't work for me.
Moving ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 files didn't help either.
What did help was:
> service mysql stop
Edit my.cfg and add innodb_force_recovery = 1
> service mysql start
> service mysql stop
Comment the innodb_force_recovery = 1 line.
> service mysql start
And voilá. (I should note that I have no idea if this involves any data loss or not)

After hours and hours of trying different solutions, I finally came across the solution here .
Which itself gets solution from the official MariaDB forum.
And the solution is to delete ib_logfile0 from /var/lib/mysql
Worked for MariaDB in my case.
EDIT:
Don't forget to restart Mysql with systemctl restart mysqld.service or systemctl restart mariadb.service (incase of using MariaDB).

Although late but putting answer here so that solution that helped me can help someone. I took following steps:
- Added more RAM to sever
- Decrease the value of innodb-buffer-pool size
- Set innodb_log_file_size
- Restart mysql
Example of addition to my.cnf:
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 10M
innodb_log_file_size = 1000M

I was getting below mysql error log:-
[Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins
InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.3
InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO
InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M
InnoDB: mmap(137363456 bytes) failed; errno 12
InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool
[ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
[ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed.
[ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB
[ERROR] Aborting
[Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete
I found out there are two solutions which are:-
1)Set innodb_log_file_size equal to the actual size of the existing InnoDB log files. To see what size of innoDB log allocated, login mysql and enter following cmd:-
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'innodb_log_file_size';
Expected result example:- 5242880
After that, insert that value in my.cnf:- vi /etc/my.cnf
innodb_log_file_size =5242880
2)Rename or move both the ./ib_logfile0 and ./ib_logfile1 files, and then start the MySQL server.This normally will be located at /var/lib/mysql. After start mysql, it create new innoDB log file and restore possible half-written data from the file of .ibd.
The expexted mysql log example:-
InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
161216 9:58:54 InnoDB: Log file ./ib_logfile1 did not exist: new to be created
InnoDB: Setting log file ./ib_logfile1 size to 5 MB

Nothing was working with reinstalls, removes, and others (I had no data to keep, not a fix; more of a data destruction process, big caveat there):
1005 mysql_install_db
1007 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/var/lib/mysql
1008 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/var/lib/mysql' (^z)
1009 bg
1010 mysql
1011 mysql_secure_installation
1012 mysql
1013 mysql -p
And viola; actually usable database.
Solution 9:[9]
for me the solution was to change the config to add
innodb_use_native_aio = 0
in mysql config
Solution 10:[10]
If you are using MyIsam instead of Innodb
You can change the my.ini from
default-storage-engine=Innodb
to
default-storage-engine=MyIsam
