Re: Can't connect to DigitalOcean managed databases

Brilliant, thank you for testing. Patched for the imminent 4.8.1. When you download/copy ‘n’ paste your config.php file, add:

$txpcfg['dbengine'] = 'InnoDB';

to override the default MyISAM table type.

EDIT: Longer term, would it make sense to add this to the db collection step during setup? A dropdown of supported engines? I’ve no idea what the other types are for, nor if they’d even work with Txp. But perhaps we could offer a choice between MyISAM (default) and InnoDB at the very least.

Yes, please. Opened github.com/textpattern/textpattern/issues/1859 to track viability.
