I just setup debian 8.3 on a VM and installed xampp after this Tutorial. Everything is working, until I tried to create a new table:
create table testtable
(
I'm using Mysql 5.6.17 with WAMP Server I solved the problem by editing the my.ini file Find the category [mysqld] there add the following instructions
[mysqld]
innodb_file_format = Barracuda
innodb_large_prefix = 1
innodb_file_per_table = ON
Don't forget to save the changes and restart all services.
