Problem with creating new tables on new 3.4.5 install

Greetings programs, I am installing a new copy of phplist 3.4.5 on AWS lightsail Ubuntu 18.04 server using a AWS database (8.0.11). Everything is connected ok, but when the install routines runs to create tables 2 of them are giving errors… (See below.) I presuming these are important as I am getting plenty of warnings about unable to upgrade and blank database versions.

These are the only errors I am getting during the install, so i am wondering if there are some fixes about, I downloaded the .tar.gz from source forge (I think, its been a busy day)

Thanks for any help in advance, I did have a poke around on the forum, but cannot see anything about this.

Just FYI, the problem is both of the tables use a field called admin, it is a restricted word in MySQL 8.0.11 - looks like it wont be in 8.0.12 In the mean time I backticked the field name and the install completed, everything seems to work fine. Not sure if there will be issues later on…

@LeytonC Wow great catch. Sounds like back ticks should be added to the initialisation scripts to avoid this error? If so, please could you report the bug on the issue tracker so it can be assigned and fixed in a future release? Or better yet, submit a PR yourself :wink:
