After reload the installation page, it will continue because 'searchindex' already exist, but the mainpage, default user and l10n-cache may not be created properly.

Hmm, looks like we just need to set some collation for it explicitly, to prevent server defaults from interferring. latin1_swedish_ci?

I'm not sure how to interpret comment 2. Can varbinary columns have a collation at all? Changing severity to major, since this stops the installer even if 'utf8' is selected earlier.

this appears to be fixed for 1.17. Removing blocker there.

It's not present in REL1_17, but it is in trunk.

r80547 is to blame.

Are you still hitting this with head (r81026)? I'm pretty sure this is resolved.

This has just happened to me on git master. I changed database collation to utf8_general_ci, dropped all tables, refreshed the installer and it worked.

Hi has this been fixed.

Don't know, see previous comments. :)
Did you test it? If so, which were your exact testing steps and your results?

Not sure I am asking has this been fixed because it works for me but steps are

1. Go to mw-configure/ using Mediawiki 1.26

2. Then follow the instructions clicking next and fling out the data.

3. Then when you get to the upgrade screen click next

Then look at the upgrade log for searchindex it should run say what the error is described above just that it was successful

Impossible to understand that sentence. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation before adding further comments. Thanks.

Ok Sorry.

1. Setup mediawiki on a website or on localhost.

2. Then once all the files are installed go to mw-config on the wiki for example if your on localhost it would be localhost/mw-config/

3. Then when I setup choose the language you want. Click next then follow the steps on the screen until you reach the upgrade screen.

4. click next on setup screen. And it should not an error if the sql failed.
