I downloaded and wanted to use the Xoopspoll 1.2 which was supposed to work with XOOPS 2.3, but when I wanted to install the module, I received the following error: Unable to install xoopspoll. Error(s):

Installing Polls

BLOB/TEXT column 'description' can't have a default value

How can one rectify this issue?

thanks for any suggestions...

Sounds like an error in the .sql file used in the installation process. I'll download the module and take a look..... but if someone else gets there before me, please feel free to post the solution

Hmm... so far as I can see, the MySQL.sql files for v1.1 (which I know works/installs) is the same as for the new v1.2

So that's my idea gone.

Are you doing a fresh install or an upgrade?

Oh, and are you running PHP5?

It's probably the MySql version. Remove the
default ''
in the /sql/mysql.sql in the line with description.
Change from
description tinytext NOT NULL default '',

to
description tinytext NOT NULL,
and retry the install.

You're right John. This is a MySQL 5 change. Text and Blob types cannot have a default value. You should be able to change line 40 in ./sql/mysql.sql from:
description tinytext NOT NULL default '',

to:
description tinytext NOT NULL,
