Having the same problem, I am trying to set up my Flarum install on a shared web hosting service, and I am not sure if I have the leverage to edit the mysql settings to use InnoDB as the default. Is there a work around to this? If not, can I possibly use the older version instead (beta7 -- assuming I won't run into this issue)?
My provider has the following settings:
default storage engine= MyISAM
default tmp storage engine= InnoDB
