[Neos] Exception during setup of Beta2

[Nick Poaros]

I had successfully upgraded an existing installation of Neos Beta 1 to Beta2 but encountered a problem with menus & breadcrumbs (that can wait for another post) so to check the upgrade went OK I thought it would be a good idea to install from scratch. Unfortunately I can't get past step one, database setup after connecting to db etc as I get this exception:

Uncaught exception in line 649 of /Users/nick/Sites/neos_base/beta2b/Packages/Libraries/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Connection.php: An exception occurred while executing 'CREATE INDEX path_workspace ON typo3_typo3cr_domain_model_nodedata (path, workspace)':

I am not if I am alone with this problem or not.

Thanks again in advance
