Install hangs on "installing dashboard"

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hi,

I tried to install 5.6.0.2 on my new WAMP2.2. It hangs on "Installing Dashboard" and I searched the forum. I had no problem with previous WAMP2.2 installations.

Instead of replying to all threads, I write my solution right here.

When using a fresh new WAMP install, the new MySQL (5.5) is used and seems to default to INNODB storage.

Just change the storage engins to MyISAM and all is working just fine! (for me).

I hope t'll help some people.

Thank you, works perfectly!

How to change the storage engine:
Go to C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysq[Version number]
Open the my.ini with a text editor
Go down to

[mysqld]
port=3306

(Or something like this)

Add default-storage-engine=MyISAM
Now it should look like

[mysqld]
port=3306
default-storage-engine=MyISAM

Now save the ini and restart wamp.
And that's it!
