• MYSQL error 1071

A  friend came and looked into the problem, he concluded that I need InnoDB to solve this problem.

But how do I activate INNODB for cPanel?

1- What I have:

• VPS (Virtual Private Server) www.maxserv.nl
  • Shell root access
• WHM/CPanel (cPanel 11.25.0-R44718 – WHM 11.25.0 – X 3.9)

2 – Activating InnoDB

1. Login into you VPS with SSH and root
2. Open the following file

nano /etc/my.cnf

1. Find the following line and comment it out.
   1. skip-inndob

[mysqld]
#skip-inndob

Now login into you WHM

http://domain/whm

Go to

1. Restart Services
2. Click on: SQL Server (MySQL)
3. Then confirm the process with a “Yes”

All of these steps should activate the InnoDB module, you can test it by going into your phpMyAdmin > SQL

Enter: show engines; command into the empty field and press <Start>

It should give the output:
