It seems that InnoDB is already enabled in versions of xampp (mysql) after the latest release. 1.7.1 onwards (2009 onwards).

Which should save some hacking around

Except my my.cnf was this: (it worked all the same)

#skip-innodb
innodb_data_home_dir = “C:/xampp/mysql/”
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_group_home_dir = “C:/xampp/mysql/”
innodb_log_arch_dir = “C:/xampp/mysql/”

innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M

innodb_log_file_size = 5M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

For those who had my problem. If you couldnt find a my.cnf file, instead you find a shortcut looking icon named ‘my’.

This is the my.cnf file!!

I couldnt right click ‘open with’, instead I opened it by opening a ext editor and file->open->my.

Then follow above.

I tried the above but whatever changes i made to my.cnf file in apachefriends folder, nothing was working. The following worked for me:

1. If you have MYSQL SYSTEM TRAY MONITOR installed on your machine (it is bundled with MYSQL QUERY BROWSER), launch it – you will see a little icon on the notification task bar on your windows machine.

2. Right click it and choose “Configure instance”.

3. Select “Startup Variables” on the left item listings.

4. Toggle to “InnoDB Parameters” tab. Select “Activate InnoDB”. You will notice all your settings are disabled.( to change your settings/uncomment as mentioned above, follow the next steps)

5. At the footer of the InnoDB tab window you will see a label:
Options file: C:\WINDOWS\my.ini
Section: mysqld

So this is where my configuration file was located. This ini file took precedent over the apachefriends folder > my.cnf. Locate this file and simply follow the uncommenting procedure of this post and save.

6. Stop the mysql service by right clicking on the Monitor tray again. Select “Shutdown Instance”.

7. Right click again and Select “Start Instance”.

8. Now you will see all your InnoDB variables settings.
