Magento Instillation Issue - Database server does not support InnoDB storage engine

Hello Everyone,

If you are using WAMP and your get following error message while installing any version of Magento.


' Database server does not support InnoDB storage engine '.


Then do not try to fix this issue by messing with my.ini or my.cnf file, in other word do not change your MySQL configuration.

The issue is with MySQL ver 5.6 and InnoDB storage Engine, no matter what you do it doesn't work. I have spent too much time on it and I know.


The quickest way is to uninstall your current WAMP server and install a WAMP server which is has MySQL server version lower than 5.6 like 5.5.24 and your issue will be resolved for sure.

One thing though once you uninstall you WAMP server the PHP scripts will remain but MySQL DB files may get deleted, so be careful.

Thanx
Anshumaan Bakshi
