## I have only FTP available ...
|
|
|
|
So you want to install Kimai v2 but have no SSH access to your server?
|
|
There is a workaround available, read the additional [installation instructions](installation.md).
|
|
|
|
## Error on bin/console doctrine:schema:create
|
|
|
|
If you get an error during the installation of the database schema that mentions `DC2Type:json_array`, e.g. like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
In PDOConnection.php line 109:
|
|
|
|
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'JSON
|
|
NOT NULL COMMENT '(DC2Type:json_array)', UNIQUE INDEX UNIQ_B9AC5BCE5E237E06' at line 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then the most likely case is that you are using a MariaDB database which is too old. You can find out which version is
|
|
used by executing `mysql --version` or by checking the server information e.g. with PHPMyAdmin.
|
|
|
|
There is a [discussion in the issue tracker](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/issues/191) about this topic.
|
|
|
|
There are two solution for this:
|
|
|
|
- Update your MariaDB server to at least 10.7.2
|
|
- Switch to SQLite (that can be changed in your `.env` file)
|
|
|
|
