MySQL problem in step 4 or 5

[Farhad Sakhaei]

Hi,
I upgraded MySQL to version 5.5
It seems that 5.5 does not support TYPE

I see these errors when I want to install Elxis :

Code:

mysql error [1064] : EXECUTE
URI: index.php
Message: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci' at line 19

URI: index.php
Message: Table 'de4376wf_sw2tqef.elx_banner' doesn't exist
ALTER TABLE `elx_banner` ADD INDEX `elx_viewbanner` (`showbanner`)

What we should do ?

i guess its because of charset of the database..
when i wanted to carry the site, i was faced to same problem ..

Open the SQL file and replace "TYPE" with "ENGINE" wherever this is found.

ENGINE=MyISAM

Hi John , Thank you for your reply

Do you mean the file : /installation/schema/elxis.xml ?

[datahell]

Either you use an outdated version of Elxis or a modified one...
Elxis 2009.3 already uses ENGINE instead of TYPE.

I checked the Elxis 2009.3 , The problem is in it too

To solve the problem I changed this line in : includes/adodb/adodb-datadict.inc.php

Line: 590

Replace:

$sql[0] .= ' TYPE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci';

to :

$sql[0] .= ' ENGINE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci';


Now everything is perfect

I know were the problem is but this has been changed since February 27, 2011 (attribute TYPE became deprecated on newer mysql versions).
This is why I told you that you don't use the official release or you use an outdated one.

Oh, Sorry , I was not inform about the new revision
I was used the last download of elxis 2009.3 which I had on my computer
