Hi Cory! I’m chiming in on this thread because I think I’m having the same problem as the people above. But it looks like you’re really close to a fix!! I’m hoping I can piggyback on to things. Forgive me, I’m a relative novice when it comes to databases, but I’m picking it up as I go. Here’s what’s happening with me:
When WP 4.2 changed the tables from utf8 to utf8mb4, it screwed a bunch of us over who have hosts with older mysql versions. Any mysql that is 5.5.3 or higher can deal with this just fine. Unfortunately, my host’s is 5.1.7. Unless I start completely from scratch (which isn’t really an option) I’m left looking for a workaround.
I downloaded the developer’s version from above and tried to enable compatibility mode in when building a package. It said “this option is only available with mysqldump mode.”
So I went to settings and under database build clicked “use mysqldump.” It couldn’t find it at its default location, so I went and downloaded MySQL Workbench (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/) and installed it. I entered /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS (I also tried /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/mysqldump) into the custom path and clicked save.
I went back to build the package, compatibility mode options were now available. I checked them all and built the package.
As it starts to build, I get the following error:
———-

Server Status: 200 -OK
Error Message:
DUPLICATOR ERROR: Please see the ‘Package Log’ file link below.

Any ideas where I’m going wrong? Am I even heading down the right path?
