Problem with SQL step in install of Hotstart

I bought and downloaded the eCommerce theme. Followed all of the instructions for unzipping and uploading the files.

I got all of the files uploaded and started to go through the steps of the install process. Everything went well until I got to the step where I was required to input all of the MYSQL info and clicked next I got major errors.

To ensure everything was ok with the server I dfeleted all the files and uploaded a fresh copy of Joomla 1.5 and went through all the stepos with no proiblems.

I downloaded the HOT theme againa nd uploaded it again and once again when i got to the MYSQL step, major error.... below is the error I get.

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`' at line 29 SQL=CREATE TABLE `wa89g_banner` ( `bid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `cid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `type` varchar(30) NOT NULL default 'banner', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `imptotal` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `impmade` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `clicks` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `imageurl` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `clickurl` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', `date` datetime default NULL, `showBanner` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out_time` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `editor` varchar(50) default NULL, `custombannercode` text, `catid` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `description` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `sticky` TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `ordering` INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `publish_up` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `publish_down` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `tags` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `params` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`bid`), KEY `viewbanner` (`showBanner`), INDEX `idx_banner_catid`(`catid`) ) TYPE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET `utf8`


Please NOTE - I do not get this with a fresh copy of Joomla 1.5 or 2.5 nor so I get it with the HOT start 2.5 version, only the Hot start 1.5 version. Please help me figure out this problem as I have a client that is very impatient.

I got your problem myself few days ago (win 7 64 IIS 7.5). Find all *.sql files in /installation folder. Replace in all files all :

TYPE=MyISAM

with:

ENGINE=MyISAM

I appreciate the reply but I am not sure I understand exactly how to do what you suggested. Could you be a little more specific?

Thank you!

Locate all files with .sql extension in <hot start folder>/installation
You need to look in all sub directories. Open them one by one and to Find/Replace All


TYPE=MyISAM

with

ENGINE=MyISAM

Awesome Thanks!
