mysqlt error: [1048: Column 'uID' cannot be null]... Error upon installing cc5.6.2.1
Permalink
Hello
I have received this error 4 times now and have had to subsequently remove the database and create a new one and attempt the install process all over again each time (After receiving the msqlt error and attempting to install again I get "There are already 172 tables in this database. concrete5 must be installed in an empty database." at the top of the page.). I was on the phone for nearly 2 hours with godaddy tech support this morning (usually very good but couldn't solve this one).
The curious part is that 8 out of 10 times after filling in my install info it says "unable to connect to database." No, it's not a simple path entry error either, I've done this a dozen times on different computers, browsers, and operating systems.
This is the error in its entirety:
mysqlt error: [1048: Column 'uID' cannot be null] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO Config (cfKey,cfValue,uID) VALUES ('NEWSFLOW_LAST_VIEWED','FIRSTRUN',NULL)")
I'm attempting to install it at whitefeathertarot.com. It may also be worth mentioning that I have another cc5 install in another sub-directory that works flawlessly.
I noticed other people experienced the same error message on earlier versions of cc5 but nothing more recent. What could be causing this?!
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I am having the same issue when trying to install the latest version of C5 on Godaddy. This is very aggravating.
I have created a work around solution... not sure if it is the best solution, but it appears to be the main issue occurring with godaddy installation.
What I did to resolve the error:
1. upload the concrete5.6.2.1.zip to the godaddy server.
2. extract using the godaddy file manager
3. edit the following file concrete/core/models/user.php on line 202
Before:
After:
After I changed the user.php file I then attempt to install concrete5 through the browser and was successful... or was it!.
After further inspection, the website was not working properly, so I changed the user.php file back to it's original settings. Website is still unusable.
My final thoughts are ... "DON'T USE GODADDY!!!!"

My hosting server:
It appears to be an issue with the most recent version of MySQL, which we've recently updated our servers to. There is a workaround posted in this forum thread:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/mysqlt-error...
Okay, this is really going outside our scope of support, but I want to make sure you're taken care of and I don't think most of our technicians would have been able to fix the MySQL issues, since it's a code compatibility problem that our developers need to release an update for. I Had it and lost it.
Also contact jameshostingtests@gmail.com if you're still having the MySQL issue on those new installations
