If there is a problem installing, something related to > * Creating tables... using MySQL 4 table defs...Query "CREATE TABLE > `gw_job` ( job_id int(9) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, job_cmd > varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', job_namespace int NOT NULL, job_title > varchar(255) binary NOT NULL, job_params blob NOT NULL default '', > PRIMARY KEY job_id (job_id), KEY (job_cmd, job_namespace, job_title) ) > TYPE=InnoDB " failed with error code "Specified key was too long; max > key length is 1024 bytes (localhost)". This is a good link on a work around: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-April/011707.html Can you test this with other platforms ? Ill probably close this bug if you can't reproduce the problem, you have to install a brand new mediawiki for it to show up. dev-lang/php-5.1.4 USE="apache2 berkdb bzip2 cgi cli crypt exif gd gdbm gmp imap ldap ming mysql ncurses nls pcre readline reflection sasl session snmp sockets spell spl ssl truetype unicode xml zlib -apache -bcmath -calendar -cdb -cjk -ctype -curl -curlwrappers -dbase -debug -discard-path -doc -fastbuild -firebird -flatfile -force-cgi-redirect -ftp -gd-external -hardenedphp -hash -iconv -inifile -interbase -iodbc -ipv6 -kerberos -mcve -memlimit -mhash -msql -mssql -mysqli -odbc -pcntl -pdo -pdo-external -posix -postgres -qdbm -recode -sapdb -sharedext -sharedmem -simplexml -soap -sqlite -sysvipc -threads -tidy -tokenizer -vm-goto -vm-switch -wddx -xmlreader -xmlrpc -xmlwriter -xpm -xsl -yaz -zip"
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4541 You can setup the db with latin-1 character set instead of utf-8 as a workaround. No idea when MySQL will finally do something about this. :/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 109960 ***
