| Issue 291: | Insufficient instructions for mysql install | |
| 1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
When the default mysql charset is utf8, the provided instructions for creating a db fail with "MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes". This is even explained in a FAQ, although the FAQ even does not explain how to solve the problem once the user has hit it (ie. drop the table and restart after altering db charset). The mysql instructions should really contain the following additional instruction to prevent unsuspecting user to loose their time: ALTER DATABASE reviewdb charset=latin1; (although the real fix is most probably to support UTF8 ...)
