@KekunPlazas @write_as @matt by chance were you using SQLite as the driver?
@KekunPlazas @write_as @matt https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/issues/53 maybe this issue? I also hit it. I had to tweak a line of code on my Mac to get past that step then upload the SQLite file to my server 🙈
@geekgonecrazy
Thanks, I do have the same symptoms, I'll follow the evolution of that issue. 🙂

@mcg Awesome. That's the goal! Glad it was easy for you :)
In the installinformation is mysql 5.6 as requirement listed.
Debian Buster servers only mariadb 10.3...
And i have some troubles on installing it. Tables can not be read is the error-message on creating config.
Could this be the reason?

i need writefreely to never delete posts i edit. especially never delete anything without my explicit consent!
instead, every old post should reference the newest one. simply make every new post as a reply to the previous one and keep the newest reply as the slug short link!
can you help to accomplish this?
also, do you have any suggestions on how i can serendipitously find other people's questions when i search myself for answers?
i basically made my whole stack exchange network profile in this fashion, and i will love to migrate to the fediverse... 🥰

Cool, that may help! I tried to install it in a VM a few days ago, following the upstream documentation, but somehow a step led to the CLI being stuck during the configuration, seemingly doing nothing. 😞
