I just ran through Step 3 of Web Installer and I encountered this error in authorities_normal_marc21.sql:

ERROR 1366 (HY000) at line 272: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'linkid' at row 1

and peeking into that file is this error SQL statement line:

INSERT INTO `auth_subfield_structure` (`authtypecode`, `tagfield`, `tagsubfield`, `liblibrarian`, `libopac`, `repeatable`, `mandatory`, `tab`, `authorised_value`, `value_builder`, `seealso`, `isurl`, `hidden`, `linkid`, `kohafield`, `frameworkcode`) VALUES

How do I correct this error? I am using MySQL 5.6.13 on Mac OS X 10.8.3.

It looks like MySQL on OS X ships with SQL_MODE set to include STRICT_TRANS_TABLES. Unfortunately -- and this is a problem -- Koha currently doesn't support that mode. As a workaround, I suggest using the procedure described in the following blog post to set SQL_MODE to a more lenient level: http://stanlemon.net/2013/03/23/mysql-strict-mode-on-os-x/

Also, MySQL 5.6.x now warns users when you enter your password on the command line via "-p<password>" or "-p" and prompted:

Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

So I got all these warnings for every SQL files imported. In fact, when the Web Installer imports the database structure, it ended with the warning message and I couldn't continue without starting from Step 1 again. Luckily, the Web Installer knows when it stops and let me continue to set the basic default settings.

That should be cleaned up as well. Would you mind filing a bug?
