It works in MySQL > show engines;

I can see my default engine now is INNODB.

But not in:

phpMyAdmin > Storage engines

Default engine is still MyISIAM.

In short, it doesn't work when I try creating INNODB engine table.

After went through all the changes I now can't even create MyISIAM table in phpMyAdmin.

Like I asked earlier, shouldn't we do something with my.cnf?
