Hopefully this helps someone else who may have the same problem either upgrading or during a fresh install.

During a fresh install of the latest ATutor Stable (v2) the installation would halt during step 2 while importing the DB Schema. The behavior indicated several tables would be created and many more failed to be created.

Inside the <Atutor Root>/install/db/ folder there are two files "atutor_schema.sql" and "atutor_language_text.sql" that are applicable to new installations and the remainder appear to indicate schema changes for upgrading.

In any case they use the syntax TYPE=MyISAM which is a deprecated syntax and has been removed as of MySQL 5.4.4. Performing a quick SED replace of this to make this use ENGINE=MyISAM corrects the problem and lets installation proceed as normal.

Affected platforms/users:

MySQL Server Version >= 5.4.4
ATutor Version = 2 (Most likely all previous versions will be affected the same way)
Fix: Update Schema Syntax in install directory.

Thanks, good to know.

Ever since MySQL 5.3 new db problems have been occurring. Changes are happening to mysql. For now we'd suggest stay with a version less than 5.3, until mysql restabilizes.
