frappe.exceptions.LinkValidationError: Could not find Website Theme: Standard

The database gets created, however there is no “Standard” Website Theme, can’t figure out how the DB gets its default data set. It would seem that the LinkValidation error fails when searching through fields (df) in Website Settings.

Would really appreciate any help here, trying to create a build script (from scratch) for deployment this week.

Figured this out, hope it helps someone.

I was using Mariadb version 10.6 on another machine, however that version has a limitation for tables that are ROW=COMPRESSED (which a few of the standard frappe module tables still are) in that it allows you to create them but forces them to be read-only, meaning you cannot put anything in them. During the installation process there are Link validations so that’s why I was seeing those errors.

To resolve you can either revert back to a previous version of MariaDB (eg. 10.5.X) like I did, or you can add innodb-read-only-compressed=FALSE to your my.cnf file.
