[SOLVED] How to enable INNODB in mysql

Issue

When I execute a query in MySQL it returns an error saying that InnoDB is not enabled. When I clicked the storage engine, the InnoDB was disabled.

How do I enable InnoDB?

Solution

You need to enable it in my.cnf file, then restart your server:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-parameters.html#option_mysqld_innodb

Or you can load an InnoDB plugin during runtime:
