Re: Error while installing front accounting to my server

It appears that you are using an outdated version of some chart of accounts. FA 2.4.6+ uses only InnoDB as the Engine Type and your MySQL seetings too should then be checked.

State your Server Platform and PHP/MySQL/FA versions and which chart you are using. For a start, check your chart of accounts and replace all instances of MyISAM with InnoDB and then try again after dropping / emptying your existing FA DB.

I   had to download the latest version of FA and it worked fine. the problem was using an outdated version.
