Hi Ricardo,
You are probably running mysql with a default encoding of utf-8. Try changing it to latin1.
The reason for this error is, that mysql cannot store indexes longer than 1000 bytes. When using latin1, everything is fine. But with utf-8, each character needs 3 bytes, which exceeds that limit.

MySQL said: #1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
I'm guessing this message must be related with MySQL settings, but I am far from being able to interpret this message. Please, could you/anybody help me with this issue? Thanks!
