    Make sure you’re using the InnoDB engine. The other engines do not support foreign keys.

    CREATE TABLE account_profile
(

) ENGINE = INNODB;

    Also check if the column account_profile.accnt_id matches the data type of accounts.id exactly. The second column should have an index defined on it (a primary key will do.)
