Can't create InnoDB table (error -1)

I'm porting a rather simple table to my live db server and it's giving me this strange error when I try to create a InnoDB table, table create is:

CREATE TABLE `cobertura` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `cep` int(8) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`),
  KEY `idx_cep` (`cep`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

If i change the engine to MyISAM it works, if I change the table name to something else, it works. If i create the table as MyISAM and do an engine alter to InnoDB I get error 121. I tried looking on the folder where mysql stores the files to see if there's any trash t开发者_Python百科here, nothing.

Any ideas?

While the database may have a dash (-) in the name it will prevent MariaDB (and therefore MySQL) from setting the engine to InnoDB...though this is at best a half-answer as while I am trying to import an entire database back in to the system there are other tables that get created first without problems. Unfortunately this issue is now forcing itself upon me and I do not have the time to start a whole new database name scheme policy. For now I'm changing the engine for that particular database to use MyISAM instead.

From general troubleshooting try:

SHOW ENGINES;

...and if InnoDB isn't installed apparently then try this:

INSTALL PLUGIN innodb SONAME 'ha_innodb.so';
