WHMCS issue + cron job

[meismatt]

Background: Win 7 + XAMPP 1.77 + WHMCS 4.5.2 (using https)

I have been usinG XAMPP 4 ages and installed many 3rd-party apps. It is great. Had 2 tweak some php.ini settings 2 import my work databases.
When I tried 2 install WHMCS, this problem was on the install page - "File: upgrade362.sql
Line 96 - The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes"

Anyway another thing it said was make a cron job in the control panel (and it gave me the line 2 add). How can I achieve that in XAMPP? I know that linux has a crontab, but I haven't used that much - is it similar?

1. Is that issue with the upgrade script 4 SQL fatal? How can I fix it?
2. How can I setup a cron job?

Hi meismatt,

Line 96 - The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes[/b]"

Please check if your .sql file defines Table-Engines. If not, InnoDB is the default one and that one doesn't support FULLTEXT Indexes.
You have to use MyISAM for that.
