Getting InnoDB on Xampp for Linux

Posted on the May 7th, 2007 under Linux,Software and Technology by Tohir

I’ve already posted on how to get innodb on xampp for windows. Here’s the instructions for linux assuming Ubuntu.

Open a command line and enter:

sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf

Find the line that says:

skip-innodb

Add a hash (#) in front of that so that the line looks like:

#skip-innodb

Restart MySQL and you should have InnoDB enabled!
