Database Error

(1/1)

abinadi:
I continue to receive the following error message

Database Error: Unknown table engine 'InnoDB'

Any suggestions on creating this database?  Does it need to reside with the SMF tables?

MrPhil:
SMF doesn't normally use the InnoDB engine. That is a MySQL option for certain high performance systems. SMF normally is happy with the MyISAM engine, and builds the MySQL database tables using that engine. At some point you changed from MyISAM to InnoDB, but your database was not built with that support available. Check with your host if InnoDB is available. If not, you'll have to re-create your database, being careful to specify MyISAM for the engines.

I assume you're using MySQL, but something similar probably holds for the other two supported databases. PostgreSQL and SQLite may not even support an engine called InnoDB.
