Alessandra found issues with the mysql configurator in YAIM with MySQL 5.5, because it uses different keywords to describe the same thing. (In particular, to quote from the emails on dpm-user-forum: May be this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5856511/how-to-setup-inno-db-in-mysql-5-5-8 So replacing "TYPE = InnoDB" by " ENGINE = InnoDB" should fix the issue. I can confirm from the manual that it is ENGINE what is specified for MySQL 5.5 ) Sam Ewan >
