Eric, the problem seems to be MySQL 5.6, I haven't got through a detailed review (I don't have it for testing right now) but there are several changes since MySQL 5.5, notably several default configurations and other backwards incompatible changes [1].

I recommend that you downgrade to MySQL 5.5, or better install on top of Ubuntu LTS/Debian Wheeze. I recommend Ubuntu 12.04 Server. And follow the official instructions [2].

FYI - our 3.8 mysql dump was "accepted" by MySQL 5.6.16-1~exp1 (Ubuntu) without any apparent problem (we did have FK? timestamp? problems with 5.6.03); however, the dump is *not* backward compatible. Best -- Paul
