Get Mysql Row size too large error when change engine from MyISAM to Innodb

Get Mysql Row size too large error when change engine from MyISAM to Innodb
ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=InnoDB

When i try to change the engine From MyISAM to InnoDB, getting following error.

row size too large (> 8126). changing some columns to text or blob or using row_format=dynamic or row_format=compressed may help.

Solutions:
  1. Add the following to the my.cnf file under [mysqld] section.
            innodb_file_per_table=1;
            innodb_file_format = Barracuda;
            innodb_log_file_size = 256M    
    
         
  2. ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=8;
