If I'm willing to lose full text search, would the app still work for other functions under InnoDB? I'm already using Haystack and Solr, so I can provide search on my own page.

Looks like only question and answer tables need fulltext index, which is not supported by InnoDB. What if I'm going to use a search engine for search of questions and answers anyway, can I not apply Migration 4 and use InnoDB? I have a lot of other tables in InnoDB and really don't want to fall back to MyISAM.

I set up a new askbot site, now the few new users all have 1 karma. Even if we try to ask question and answer them, karma still stay at 1. We can't vote up or down because none of us have enough karma to do so. What might be wrong?

I ended up just using another server with readline already installed, run "startforum", see the resulting project directory it created, then go back to my server and manually copy over the project directory. It sounds silly, but didn't want to continue trying to recompile python. Anyway, askbot seems to be working fine now. Thanks!

Sorry for asking beginner question. I installed readline now, but have been searching on how to recompile python. Sounds like I might mess up my current python settings by doing so. Is there a good link on how to recompile python? Alternatively, is there another way to set up a new Django project for AskBot without using startforum?

OK, that was the problem! Even through I override settings.py with my settings_local.py with DATABASES = {...}, I guess DATABASE_ENGINE is a DIFFERENT setting, so it worked as far as db connection goes, but the migration script was still picking up DATABASE_ENGINE. Now all migrations worked. Thanks!

The instruction at the page "Initial Configuration of Askbot" is the one I was referring to.

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, the script is in the python bin directory. Now, when I run it, this error comes up: .../python/bin/.python2.6.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm new to askbot. In it's initial configuration instruction, it says, "initialize the site setup files by typing: startforum". Well, where do I type startforum? Where is this script? I tried "python manage.py startforum", also tried just typing in this command in the shell, but it doesn't work. Wish the documentation is more clear for beginners.

I'm installing askbot 0.6.79 with MySQL (MyISAM). Migration 22 is still failing. I see that there is a condition in the migration code to only apply to postgresql. But, may be it is still expecting to see the pg_language table? Error: .../MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler django.db.utils.DatabaseError: (1146, "Table 'askbot.pg_language' doesn't exist"

Ah, thanks for the quick response. What if I have a Django site already using MySQL InnoDB with 100+ tables? Should I keep askbot in a different db, or you still strongly recommend I migrate the whole db to Postgre?

I'm new to askbot. Trying to set up askbot 0.6.79 with MySQL. When running python manage.py migrate askbot, at for 0040_delete_old_tag_filter_strategies. I'm getting this error:

.../MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1214, "The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes")

What's wrong?
