MySQL error: The maximum column size is 767 bytes

Question

When I run a program which does something with MySQL, I got this error message:

2015-06-10 15:41:12,250 ERROR app.wsutils 419 INCRON: Error: (\'HY000\

Answer 1

Set the below system variables:

innodb_buffer_pool_size.................................... 702545920
innodb_file_format......................................... Barracuda
innodb_file_format_check................................... ON
innodb_file_format_max..................................... Barracuda
innodb_file_per_table...................................... ON
innodb_large_prefix........................................ ON
innodb_log_file_size....................................... 50331648

Also, make sure when you create your schema you create it as Latin1. That is what finally fixed me.
