@Andy, I had a similar error but I solved it by re-compiling mysql (using easyapache in cpanel) using InnoDB.

Then I reinstalled Magento… that worked for me as far as I can remember it… let me know if you figured it out…

You are right, o wise one. I am running into another wall, or two again.

After some digging I found that the MySQL default storage had to be changed to InnoDB. I did that by going into my.cnf and change it to:

[mysqld]
#skip-innodb
default-storage_engine = InnoDB

And restarted MySQL. Just when I was about to pat myself on the back, all of a sudden an Internal Server Error pops up when I attempt to install Magento.

Error log shows:
“PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library” for all those PHP extensions.

I’m at a loss at this point. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Don’t thank me yet Andy – This is just the first step to getting Magento installed… feel free to ping me with questions – If I haven’t already written a post on it, I can always add…
