[SOLVED]"Index column size too large" after upgrade to 6.3

Seafile Server
1

Hi there,

I’m trying to update to 6.3 (from 6.2.5) The update script ran successfully until the end, without problems. “./seafile.sh start” now shows me:

[06/04/18 13:41:31] …/common/ccnet-db.c(142): Error exec query CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS GroupStructure ( id BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, group_id INTEGER, path VARCHAR(1024), UNIQUE INDEX(group_id), INDEX(path))ENGINE=INNODB: MySQL failed to execute: Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes…
failed to run “ccnet-server -t”

any ideas, someone? Thanks!

Which OS are you using and are you using MySQL or MariaDB? Maybe the same issue like in the Announcement thread, you should take a look on it.

I couldn´t find any hints in the Announcement thread. OS ist Centos 7.5 with MariaDB 5.5.56.

It’s because the index is too large for some databases.
You can manually create that table in your ccnet database by running

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS GroupStructure ( id BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, group_id INTEGER, path VARCHAR(1024), UNIQUE INDEX(group_id))ENGINE=INNODB;

it’s ok to deprecate this table index in open source release.

But it should work out of the box with MySQL and MariaDB.
