MySQL Error: [ERROR] [FATAL] InnoDB: Table flags are 0 in the data dictionary but the flags in file

In the environment with Wamp installed locally, MySQL fails to start at startup. Check the startup failure log as follows:

2021-08-21T12:46:57.183482Z 0 [ERROR] [FATAL] InnoDB: Table flags are 0 in the data dictionary but the flags in file .\ibdata1 are 0x4800!

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
Attempting to collect some information that could help diagnose the problem.
As this is a crash and something is definitely wrong, the information
collection process might fail.

Later, after checking online, many people reported this problem after using MySQL 8 and then MySQL 5.7, and then this is the case in my local area. Later, I checked the my.ini file and found that there was a problem with the directory pointing to the configuration dataDir. Just modify it.

Then start again and report the following error:

2021-08-21T12:57:29.873841Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: The innodb_system data file 'ibdata1' must be writable
2021-08-21T12:57:29.874698Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: The innodb_system data file 'ibdata1' must be writable

Then delete the IB in the data directory under the MySQL installation directory according to the online method_logfile0 and IB_logfile1. If these two files cannot be deleted, find mysqld in the process list and end it.
