title: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1286 Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'
body: <p>I have a website in Laravel 4.2, its been running perfectly fine for months. But since a couple of days, some of my users are complaining about this error:</p>
  
  <p><strong>SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1286 Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'</strong></p>
  
  <p>Sometimes this error appears, sometimes it automatically gets fixed. Right now the website is working fine for me but one of my user is sending me screenshots:</p>

  <p>The strange thing is, this error keeps coming on and off since yesterday. If there really is a syntax error then this error should appear for everyone.</p>
  
  <p>What could be the reason of this error exactly? And how to get rid of it?</p>
