I’m currently working on a web-based installer for laconica:

*** End News ***

I checked up on Laconica and did some testing to see if the new version would install without any real changes to my script.

ERROR 1071 (42000) at line 163: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

Ouch! Looking up the error I found that a quick and easy fix to this is to change the DB table to InnoDB, which means a modification to the laconica.sql file! I’ve added a small section to my scripts which removes the default sql file, and downloads a very slightly modified version from here:

Which BTW is the new location for a copy of my files. I’m updating my other posts with the correct location now. Also, I can now confirm that this new copy of the script installs 0.4.4 without any problems. Let me know if you run into any.
