I agree with pupi1985 answer. Please use that solution for upgrade.

Answer 2

It is not enough to change the line ProThoughts suggested as the database schema has already been created. Now you have 2 options: you upgrade to 1.8-beta (highly preferred option) or you follow the approaches mentioned here: http://www.question2answer.org/qa/43485/change-varchar-to-longtext?show=43493#a43493
