MySQL InnoDB problems

[jacquita]

I'm trying to create an InnoDB table in a mySQL database on Corona and seem to be having some issues. Using phpMyAdmin, when I create a new, simple, one field table and select InnoDB for it's engine I receive this error:
==================
Error

SQL query:

CREATE TABLE `jacqui_civ2`.`test5` (
`field1` VARCHAR( 2 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `field1` )
) ENGINE = InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

MySQL said: Documentation
#2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query
====================


In the list of tables for the database I get this back:
====================
jacqui_civ2 (4)
No tables found in database.
====================
In this case, I've made 3 other attempts at creating a table using various parameters. The table count for "jacqui_civ2" shows 4 tables, which includes the one created above, but the table list shows no tables.

If I do a dump of this same database this is what I get:
====================

===========================

At this point, I'm at a lose as to what the problem could be. The engine list for this server shows InnoDB as being configured and available, however, it does not seem to work.

Any feedback or information on getting this resolved would be very much appreciated.
