First my hosting set up...i have a hosting reseller package and created an account from it for myself. I have a main domain name and a sub domain name for Q2A. The main domain is a blogging platform newly installed a few days ago with no content yet published.

Yesterday morning i installed Q2A on the sub and spent all morning creating categories and sub categories and everything was fine. Later in the evening i went to my main domain (the blogging platform) to find an error message saying: Unknown table engine 'InnoDB'", the message was a lot longer than that giving references to files, but that's the gist of it.

Then i checked Q2A to find a 500 internal server error. Not being able to find anything wrong, i thought i'd back up the database first, but when i went to check any of the tables i got the same error message: Unknown table engine 'InnoDB'".

(This is the message returned to me by MySQL when i selected any of the tables)

Both sites had previously been working. I then deleted the databse and Q2A from the sub and started again. After uploading Q2A, as soon as I renamed the config file i got a page 500 internal server error, so i deleted the entire sub domain and recreated it outside of the public_html folder in case my main domain is affecting the sub. But still the same problem. If i upload Q2A as is, then unzip and go to my home page, i get the Q2A message saying it cannot find config.php, which is as it should be, but as soon as i rename config-example.php i get the error.

What could be the problem here?

Note that Q2A was installed without signle sign on, so it had it's own database.
Q2A version: 1.5.4
closed with the note: Thanks, problem resolved with apache restart!

Consider contacting your hosting provider. I'm not sure what's causing the problem but they might just be able to help you.
