MySQL issue can't a text column have a default value in MySQL

[sixu83]

Hi, AlfredoPagano

I've been trying to install the game, simply to test out its capabilities and ran into the same problem. I don't have the privleges on the server to change the tables mode.

could you post or otherwise send me the code (or tell me what I need to change) in order to bypass this limitation?

Thanks so much!

(apologies for sounding stupid, I'm not really a coder, as I am a graphical artist)

Hi @sixu83, since all you want (for now, at least) is to try this engine out, I would recommend an alternate solution. Instead of running it on a remote server, you can always setup an instance on your local machine. I don't know what OS do you use, but to prevent any mess on your computer, your best options are either a virtualized instance (eg. using VirtualBox, or Vagrant to automate it a bit) or containerized instance (using Docker).

I could share my local development docker-compose.yml file here, but it's far from perfect and it will most likely need some tinkering to do the initial bootstrap.

If no remote server option is possible, then sure I will look into docker. I was looking at the suggestions you mentioned and that looks the most impressive.

Let me know if you need any menial grunt work in finding a way to bypass the strict tables, would be happy to help.
