Description

Some (local) servers don't support InnoDB by default. This is easy to fix (see text at http://www.activecollab.com/blog/23/activecollab-on-your-computer-or-usb-revisited/).

We should add a installation-problems.txt to the zip file containing the text.

Yeah, it was me (sorry but sometimes I forget to switch my user back when configuring the site).

Status:new» patch - code needs work

I reviewed the text and it looks fine except the fact that I couldn’t find the my.ini file on my PC (you wrote  "usually  at c:\windows\my.ini").

I am using the uniform server package and the xampplite package under Windows and can only find a "my-small" file at D:\Uniform Server\diskw\usr\local\mysql\bin\my-small for the Uniform Server. I find a "my" file at D:\xampplite\mysql\bin\my. Both files cannot be opened by Windows itself but you need a Unix capable editor to open them via file > open (like PSPad).

Please add that info to the text file.

For Linux installations the instructions should be fine :-) I didn’t test that (too late and I just have Ubuntu, maybe this is different on other distros; I also don’t have a Mac (anymore) - I recycled my good old PowerMac 6500 3 months ago).

A second thing: Do we really need the aC sentence at the end? I suspect that we will never touch that file in future releases and we will walk away from aC’s code. This can confuse a user who desperately seeks help when the installer doesn’t install.

I would remove that one but it doesn’t hurt in PP 0.8. We just have to think about that later.
