title: Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled
body: <p>Im trying to start MySQL using easyPHP: the response is an alert window to a log file. The main error is <em>&lt;-- Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled --></em>.</p>
  
  <p>Through research online I found that the solution is to add the federated option to the <code>my.ini</code> file. I did this, but it is still not working.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an extract from the log file for more information:</p>
