sql - How to enable INNODB in mysql

Question

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?

Answer 1

I faced a similar situation where InnoDB got disabled after a mysql-server upgrade. The query "show engines" didn't display Innodb. Following this link fixed the issue for me.

    /etc/init.d/mysql stop

    cd /var/lib/mysql/

    ls ib_logfile*
    mv ib_logfile0 ib_logfile0.bak
    mv ib_logfile1 ib_logfile1.bak

    /etc/init.d/mysql restart
