+2. **IMPORTANT** You will need to change the nginx config file (`/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yotter`) by adding `/a` on the proxy rule so it should look like this:

+### Increasing the channel name max size on the database (Only installations older than 2020.09.20)
+
+On older versions the character limit for a Youtube suscritpion was 30. This caused some problems with channels that had a longer string for the channel name. Since 2020.09.20 version, this problem was solved, but for older installation the problem persists even if you update to the latest github version.
+
+To solve this, we will need to modify our database and set up new character limits. Don't worry, it's easy.
+
+First you need to open the MySQL prompt. This can be done wiht `mysql -u root -p`. It will prompt you the **mysql database root user password**, note that it is NOT the *sudo* password. Once you're in the MySQL prompt (`mysql>`) you can execute these commands:
+
+1. `connect yotter;` - This will connect you to the yotter database.
+2. `ALTER TABLE channel MODIFY COLUMN channelName VARCHAR(100);` - This alters the field `channelName` from the table `channel` and sets its limit to `100` characters.
+3. `quit;`
