MySQL: Can't create table (errno: 150)

I am trying to import a .sql file and its failing on creating tables.

Here's the query that fails:

CREATE TABLE `data` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`value` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`,`name`),
CONSTRAINT `data_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`id`) REFERENCES `keywords` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;    

I exported the .sql from the the same database, I dropped all the tables and now im trying to import it, why is it failing?

MySQL: Can't create table './dbname/data.frm' (errno: 150)

Setting up foreign keys in phpMyAdmin?

I'm setting up a database using phpMyAdmin. I have two tables (foo and bar), indexed on their primary keys. I am trying to create a relational table (foo_bar) between them, using their primary keys as foreign keys.

I created these tables as MyISAM, but have since changed all three to InnoDB, because I read that MyISAM doesn't support foreign keys. All id fields are INT(11).

When I choose the foo_bar table, click the "relation view" link, and try to set the FK columns to be database.foo.id and database.bar.id, it says "No index defined!" beside each column.

What am I missing?

Clarification/Update

For the sake of simplicity, I want to keep using phpMyAdmin. I am currently using XAMPP, which is easy enough to let me focus on the PHP/CSS/Javascript, and it comes with phpMyAdmin.

Also, although I haven't been able to set up explicit foreign keys yet, I do have a relational table and can perform joins like this:

SELECT * 
FROM foo 
INNER JOIN foo_bar 
ON foo.id = foo_bar.foo_id 
INNER JOIN bar
ON foo_bar.bar_id = bar.id;

It just makes me uncomfortable not to have the FKs explicitly defined in the database.

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and then set root password on phpMyAdmin. I forgot the password and now I am unable to login. When I try to change password through terminal I get:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

How can I fix this? I am unable to open LAMP, uninstall it or reinstall it.

Error Dropping Database (Can't rmdir '.test\', errno: 17)

you have been of terrific help today. I am on my way to learn PHP with MySQL and unexpectedly got stuck while dropping the database.

Basically, I was taught on how to create a root password using the "mysqladmin -u root -p password" command, this was done all through the windows command editor. Now, the next process was to display the default databases (info. schema, mysql and test) which was achieved by using "SHOW DATABASES;"

But according to the book, we had to delete the redundant test file and the following error pops up:

Error Dropping Database (Can't rmdir '.test\', errno: 17)

The command put to use was DROP DATABASE test;

I am using MYSQL and PHPMYADMIN. Any help on how to drop the file with no errors?

Installing PDO driver on MySQL Linux server

I was suggested, not long ago, to change my code to use PDO in order to parameterize my queries and safely save HTML in the database.

Well, here are the main problems:

  1. I looked at http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.php and I don't really get where I should put that $ ./configure --with-pdo-mysql string...

  2. The site I'm building actually only requires PDO for one page. While I may consider re-writing it, it would take a while and I need the pages to be running soon, so I can't turn off MySQL completely. If I do install PDO, will I still be able to use mysql_* handlers?

The server in question is running PHP Version 5.4.6-1ubuntu1 and apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu). I'm also running a PHPMyAdmin database, if it matters.
