Alfresco Community 2.9 & MySQL Vista- Alfresco Start error

[pravin]

Hi,
I need help to use Alfresco Community 2.9 with My Sql server on Windows Vista . But I am getting error while starting the Alfresco server. Please help, following are the details.

I need Alfresco with java SDK so as per instructions on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SDK
- downloaded AlfrescoCommunity-2.9.0B-Setup.exe and installed Alfresco. As part of installation it installed JDK 1.5.
- downloaded MySql5.1 server and installed it
- Created new database successfully from c:\alfresco\extras\databases\mysql\db_setup
- edited custom-repository.properties with the following contents

   dir.root=c:/alfresco/alf_data
    dir.indexes=c:/alfresco/alf_data/lucene-indexes
    #db.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
    #db.url=jdbc:hsqldb:file:alf_data/hsql_data/alfresco;ifexists=true;shutdown=true;
   db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
   db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco‍‍‍‍‍‍

- edited custom-hibernate-dialect.properties with the following contents

     #hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
     hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect‍‍

- When I start Alfresco Server I get the following error

Am I missing any any updates to any other files? or is any system variable path needed?

Looks like you have a mismatch between what's in your alf_data folder and what's in your DB.   

For a new install (which you have described) where you don't care about any content delete all below alf_data and drop and recreate the database.

Thanks it worked. I deleted alf_data folder, dropped the database and recreated it.
