Hi everyone,

I'm just discovering Wave and I must admit that it is a very nice piece of software that I can't wait to develop on. However, I had a few problems during the installation that I wanted to address.

First, during the installation, I had a very common Laravel problem with the key size during migration. The classic correction didn't work 1.JPG but I did work around by changing the config/database.php file :

'charset' => 'utf8', # <--
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', # <--
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => 'InnoDB', # <--

Just pasting that here, so maybe I can help somebody else.

Second, my admin theme option is totally broken as you can see on the following image (this is a fresh install) : Screenshot_2021-02-12 Wave - Create some waves and build your next great idea.png

Have a nive evening !

good afternoon Gregoire You are most likely working with windows and using Firefox. I say this because I have faced the same kind of problems.

  1. the problem you describe I have usually solved it with this modifications...
in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php, write
	use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
	
public function boot()
{
    		Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}

in config/database.php, change null with 'InnoDB'
'engine' => null,  -->	'engine' => 'InnoDB',

the second problem I have seen in Firefox and I have mentioned it to the development team.

I hope I have been able to help you. Regards

Carlos
