Installing prestashop with MyISAM engine preselected

[adi_2016]

Hi,

 

is it possible to install prestashop with MyISAM engine preselected instead of InnoDB. If yes, how?

I had many errors with InnoDB so my hosting provider recommended MyISAM.

 

Any help is appreciated and many thanks i advance.

PS has been changed to check for InnoDB support automatically and use it.

 

Looks like the easiest way is to override this behavior is to change the following file located in the install folder

\install\models\install.php

 

locate the function named generateSettingsFile

    public function generateSettingsFile($database_server, $database_login, $database_password, $database_name, $database_prefix, $database_engine)

Inside that function you will see the following

            '_MYSQL_ENGINE_' =>        $database_engine,

change it to this

            '_MYSQL_ENGINE_' =>        'MyISAM',

Then run the install

Hi bellini13,

 

thank you very much, I will try that and let you know if it works.

 

I also found this topic in meantime, perhaps someone will find it useful in future
