Yes but is the MySQL daemon running as root? I hope it isn't...

check the permissions on the mysql data dir, may be the user mysql or

i am creating my own little blog and i am trying to create a comments
table
that uses the primary key of my blog table as a foreign key. i've tried
the
only two ways that i know how and both ways yielded the same error:
#1005 - Can't create table '.\mydatabase\comments.frm' (errno: 150)
i orginally created the comments table before i read about FOREIGN KEYS,
so
i tried executing the following command:
ALTER TABLE comments
ADD FOREIGN KEY(comment_journal_id)
REFERENCES journal(journal_id)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;
which resulted with the same error as listed above. so not really knowing
what i was doing, i decided to try and create the comments table from
scratch using the following the command thinking that it might work (which
it didn't):
CREATE TABLE comments(
comment_id INT,
journal_id INT,
INDEX jrn_ind( journal_id ) ,
FOREIGN KEY ( journal_id ) REFERENCES journal( journal_id )
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) TYPE = INNODB
now before i go and do something stupid, i thought i might ask for some
help
on this issue :D both my blog and comments tables are InnoDB.
