Issues with softaculous

[Casmat]

Hey!

This question might be related to the server issues, just letting you know… I tried to install vanilla forums but the error popped up:

The following errors were found :

Could not make the query numbered : 29
MySQL Error No : 1071
MySQL Error : Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

Requires premium hosting

[OUTDATED] InnoDB on free hosting

[Casmat]

Nope, doesnt require premium hosting… Im not looking for innoDB, im looking for vanilla forums. I installed vanilla forums before on free hosting.

Like Casmat said, it doesn’t
I have like a lot of vanilla forums websites on infinityfree

@Casmat try again
that usually fixes it. If it still says that try to delete all mysql databases and then open softaculous again

It’s possible that Vanilla Forums was updated and now requires InnoDB.

Taking a quick look at their website, it seems they released a 4.0 version last week. In the announcement topic they say it requires MySQL 5.7 or higher, but we still run MySQL 5.6.

So it seems you can’t run Vanilla Forums 4 here. Please try install Vanilla Forums version 3 instead.

What @Admin said but, when and if InfinityFree upgrades the MySQL version, and if InnoDB won’t still be available , you can force the use of MyISAM adding this to your /conf/config.php file:

$Configuration['Database']['ForceStorageEngine'] = 'myisam';
$Configuration['Database']['DefaultStorageEngine'] = 'myisam';
