Hi,
I get the same error, max key is 500. In which files are these changes necessary to make it work with an old version of mysql (3.23.58)? Actually, while I could install 1.4.4 on this same machine, I couldn't install 1.5alpha1. It says max key length is 500 chars. Although I don't admin this machine, I can get the admin to make a couple changes. Would it work this way?

What should be changed in mysql config in order not to bump in limitation.
Set default charset to latin1 instead of utf8.
