I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.11 to 3.0.5. During the initial verificatin stage, I see the Database Storage Engine no longer supported message. When I log into mysql and perform the show engines command I see the following;


mysql> SHOW ENGINES;

So it appears ... but ...

It's usually recommended to upgrade to the highest in the current series then upgrade to X.

Moodle 2.6.11+ was the highest available in that series.
Min. Requirements: PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.33

Moodle 3.0.5+
Min. Requirements: PHP 5.4.4, MySQL 5.5.31

You've not mentioned version of MySQL.

If you upgrade the MySQL make sure you run mysql_upgrade as super user.

Also, is the DB server localhost or is it a remotely hosted DB server?
