Getting this error not sure what it means

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Easy Populate', 'Config options for Easy Populate', '1', '1')]

I get this message

Easy Populate Configuration Missing. Please install your configuration by clicking here

then when I click 'here' I get

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Easy Populate', 'Config options for Easy Populate', '1', '1')]

I tried sql patches from install_sql.txt

INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Easy Populate', 'Config options for Easy Populate', '1', '1');

and get this error

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Easy Populate', 'Config options for Easy Populate', '1', '1');]

How do I fix this ?

Are you still having this problem?

Check this out regarding integer values with specific server setups as it seems to be related.

The workaround could likely be modified to your setup.

I had the same problem. MySQL (5?) apparently doesn't like null strings('') for integers on auto_increment fields. Add the 0's below and it should install without an error.
