Unable to install database

Permalink
Hi Folks,
I keep getting the same error message when I try to install concrete on my laptop. The error is "Unable to install database: Invalid default value for 'avDateAdded'". I am not very good at MySQL database terminology or not very good at MySQL at all to be honest. I am using WampServer Version 3.0.4 32bit and trying to install concrete 5.5.2.1 I would greaty appreciate any assistance offered.
Regards,
D

Me too. I have gone all the way back to 5.6.3 and it won't install either. However 5.7 installs no problem.

I tried this on Mac and Windows but got the same error. Finally did a clean install on linux(ubuntu) and exported the database as sql and copied the site and got it to install on Mac.

Only workaround I could find.

I've been struggling with this on & off for a week - got a new pc, installed wamp3.0.0 (have 2.5 on the other system), and trying to install 5.6.3.1
wamp3 comes with mySQL 5.7.9
wamp2.5 comes with mySQL 5.1 (64 bits)

the issue with the < c57 appears to be the axmls language used to define the database structure. earlier to mySQL 5.7.9 accepted "deftimestamp" or "default value='00-00-0000 00:00:00" as field attributes. ms579 chokes on the latter; replacing those with the former allows the script to run - but it has no effect :(

i'm going to attempt one more hack to see if i can tweak the database generation logic, and if that's unsuccessful, cry uncle and start over with wampserver 2.5...
