Added a comment on mysql collation issue and php issue

  
  Proceed with [[BOINC/ServerGuide/AppDeployment|AppDeployment]] to learn about collecting binaries from multiple platforms of Debian and configure BOINC to serve them.
  
+ === Comments ===
+ I tested this guide on Debian stretch with experimental repos.
+ I faced an error ``mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1071, 'Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes')``
+ The reason this happens was  that the default config of mysqld is
+ {{{
+ character-set-server = utf8mb4 
+ collation-server = utf8mb4_general_ci 
+ 
+ }}}
+ while the recommended settings for BOINC are
+ 
+ {{{
+ character-set-server=utf8 
+ collation-server=utf8_general_ci
+ }}}
+ So the mysqld config should be changed.
+ 
+ 
+ Another issue was a PHP exception ``Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() boinc``
+ This is simply solved by
+ {{{
+ apt-get install php7.0-mbstring php7.0-zip php7.0-xml
+ }}}
