You need to locate the mySQL config file (helpfully named) my.cnf file. On linux it is located at /etc/my.cnf
Then under the [mysqld] add the following line as shown below! *[mysqld] default-storage_engine = InnoDB* And don't forget to restart mysql. After this whenever you create a table its default storage engine is InnoDB. but it will not change any existing table storage engine to Innodb. To do this there is two way. a. You can change storage engine by alter command of tables, but one by one. eg. *Alter table [tablename] engine=myisam; * b. export the database , an then replace MyISAM with InnoDB in dump file (sed -i 's/MyISAM/InnoDB/g' dbdump.sql) and import again.
