"Specified key was too long" Print

When installing Thyme, the database installation portion may fail with the message "Specified key was too long." This error message is related to the MySQL bug documented here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4541

To bypass this error, you may run the following SQL (using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool) on the database where you are installing Thyme:

ALTER DATABASE db_name CHARACTER SET latin1;

Where 'db_name' is the name of the database in where you are installing Thyme.

Please do not hesitate to contact support if you have any questions at all or need help performing this.
