title: Can't change storage engine to myisam, unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'
body: <p>I'm trying to use <code>mysqldump</code> to dump a database, but I'm getting an error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show create table <code>wp_commentmeta</code>': Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB' (1286)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>No worries; I'll just go into MySQL and change the storage engine for the table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql&gt; show create table wp_commentmeta;
  ERROR 1286 (42000): Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'
  mysql&gt; Alter table wp_commentmeta ENGINE = myisam;
  ERROR 1286 (42000): Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am doing wrong? (and/or) How can I fix it?</p>
