Problem: serendipity_permalinks - Specified key was too long

[hitzi]

I just upgraded to 0.9-alpha2. The update script told that there had to run a sql.

After running that i got following message.

Calling serendipity_buildPermalinks ...
Bei der Einrichtung der Installation traten einige Fehler auf:

-
CREATE INDEX plcomb_idx ON serendipity_permalinks (permalink, type);
/ Specified key was too long. Max key length is 500


Die Serendipity-Installation ist nun auf die Version 0.9-alpha2 aktualisiert.

Is that a big problem or can I use my blog still without any problems?

With best regards
Thomas

Which database and version do you use? You can still use it, the error is nonfatal. But I don't understand why it would think that the key length needs to be larger than 500.
