First I would like to say thank you for all of your time and effort for providing us with such a wonderful service. When trying to access my site I get this error: Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB' [1286] When I checked the engines tab in phpmyadmin it showed MyISAM MyISAM storage engine MRG_MYISAM Collection of identical MyISAM tables MEMORY Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables BLACKHOLE /dev/null storage engine (anything you write to it disappears) CSV CSV storage engine InnoDB Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys ARCHIVE Archive storage engine PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA Performance Schema FEDERATED Federated MySQL storage engine And when clicking on the InnoDB entry I am told: InnoDB Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys This MySQL server does not support the InnoDB storage engine. There is no detailed status information available for this storage engine. So it would seem that there is no InnoDB engine preent in the database. However , in order for me to recieve the initial error Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB' [1286] InnoDB would have had to have been present when the database was written, and now it is not. In order for me to resolve this error I must delete all log files and restart the mysql database. How would I be able to do that? Thanx again .
