Laravel5.5 配置后台管理包Voyager问题：SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

听说voyager不错，新建立一个文件尝试了一下，

D:\wamp64\www\laravel\myproject

λ> php artisan voyager:install –with-dummy

Setting up the hooks

Hooks are now ready to use! Go ahead and try to "php artisan hook:install test-hook"

问题让人头大，根据laravel官方的文档，更改laravel5.5的文件（ ../app/providers/appServiceProvider.php）内容 , 如下

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; //Import Schema

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
Schema::defaultStringLength(191); //Solved by increasing StringLength
}

/**
* Register any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
}

D:\wamp64\www\laravel\myproject

数据库显示，users和migration成功导入，其他还是失败了。最后到github找到这个解决方案

https://github.com/the-control-group/voyager/issues/901#issuecomment-291470960

1. Update the "config/database.php" for 'mysql'
'engine' => null,
with
'engine' => 'InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC',
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2. Update the "app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php" with
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
// Specified key was too long error, Laravel News post:
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}

/**
* Register any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. Execute Command:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan voyager:install --with-dummy
Now, everything works! :)

这里也有类似的问题：https://github.com/the-control-group/voyager/issues/1333

根据上述做了些更改，然后安装

λ> php artisan voyager:install –with-dummy

分析：关键是这个：

'engine' => 'InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC'

上述这名话的意思是，采用MySQL存储引擎采用InnoDB(而不是MyISAM)，动态文本格式。当然InnoDB不是没有缺点，这个大家可以自己进一步深入研究。
