4 4  * Download and install [MySQL>http://www.mysql.com/]
5 5  ** Note that XWiki will not work with MySQL version 4.0 or lower as one library we're using (C3P0) is not compatible with MySQL 4.x.
6 6  * Start the MySQL server. You can do that in several ways. For example:

36 +1.1 Troubleshooting
37 +
38 +1.1.1 Field 'XWD_ARCHIVE' doesn't have a default value
39 +
40 +If you get an error like the one below it probably means you had an old XWiki version installed which had a wrong schema. We're normally automatically fixing schemas at startup when you set the <tt>xwiki.store.hibernate.updateschema</tt> configuration parameter in <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> (it's set to on by default). However it's currently not done for this error as we need to investigate it more.

44 +[...]
45 +Wrapped Exception:
46 +java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Field 'XWD_ARCHIVE' doesn't have a default value
47 +{code}
48 +
49 +To fix this run the following SQL command on your database:
50 +
51 +{code:sql}
52 +alter table xwikidoc modify column XWD_ARCHIVE mediumtext null;
53 +{code}
