I think the message about the federated plugin being disabled is a red herring - you would be using either InnoDB or MyISAM - which are different.

Are you able to connect to the database locally using any of the MySQL management tools you get ?

(Were you on linux, I'd say run 'mysql -u root -pblahblahblah database_name ' to test a connection).

thanks
