when trying to install gallery 3.0.4 I get the errors below. I have drop the DB, created a new one, created a new user & password. all with the same results.

Failed to create tables in your database:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\'0\',`edit_1` binary(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT \'0\',`add_1` binary(1) NOT NULL DEFAU' at line 1

my server stats are:

PHP 5.3.13
MySQL Version 5.1.63-cll

I have the same problem on a new host. I've tried to import the sql schema manually:

mysql -p -e "create database gallery_test;"
cd /var/www/html/gallery3/installer
mysql -p gallery_test < install.sql

This gives an error similar to the web based installer.

From a working gallery 3.0.4 I backed up the schema with mysqldump -p gallery3 --no-data -d --compact > g3.sql and copied the g3.sql file in place of the install.sql on the new server.

This produced the same error. However, the install.sql imported fine with mysql -p gallery3 < install.sql

Fixed this the roundabout way:

Spin up a fresh CentOS virtual machine
Set up Gallery3
Dump the database and tarball it with the web directory
Overwrite the non-working version

The error was limited to the database setup. A running start worked without a hitch

I did not have time to bother fixing the install script. I installed G2 and was up and running. Been using Gallery for years, I know the Dev's will fix the broken script, I just did not have time to wait or to try and do it myself. thanks for the replies. :)

I got the same error message on installation & tried creating a new DB. I'm going to wait too. Hopefully we'll be advised of a fix soon.
