From official reference

Full-text indexes can be used only with MyISAM tables. (In MySQL 5.6 and up, they can also be used with InnoDB tables.) Full-text indexes can be created only for CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT columns.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/fulltext-search.html

InnoDB with MySQL 5.5 does not support Full-text indexes.

The problem occurred because of wrong table type MyISAM is the only type of table that Mysql supports for Full-text indexes   To correct this error run following sql    CREATE TABLE gamemech chat     id bigint 20  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment    from userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     to userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     text text NOT NULL    systemtext text NOT NULL    timestamp datetime NOT NULL default  0000-00-00 00 00 00     chatroom bigint 20  NOT NULL default  0     PRIMARY KEY   id     KEY from userid  from userid     FULLTEXT KEY from userid 2  from userid     KEY chatroom  chatroom     KEY timestamp  timestamp    ENGINE MyISAM

Before MySQL 5 6 Full-Text Search is supported only with MyISAM Engine    Therefore either change the engine for your table to MyISAM   CREATE TABLE gamemech chat     id bigint 20  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment    from userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     to userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     text text NOT NULL    systemtext text NOT NULL    timestamp datetime NOT NULL default  0000-00-00 00 00 00     chatroom bigint 20  NOT NULL default  0     PRIMARY KEY   id     KEY from userid  from userid     FULLTEXT KEY from userid 2  from userid     KEY chatroom  chatroom     KEY timestamp  timestamp    ENGINE MyISAM    Here is SQLFiddle demo  or upgrade to 5 6 and use InnoDB Full-Text Search

Only MyISAM allows for FULLTEXT  as seen here   Try this   CREATE TABLE gamemech chat     id bigint 20  unsigned NOT NULL auto increment    from userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     to userid varchar 50  NOT NULL default  0     text text NOT NULL    systemtext text NOT NULL    timestamp datetime NOT NULL default  0000-00-00 00 00 00     chatroom bigint 20  NOT NULL default  0     PRIMARY KEY   id     KEY from userid  from userid     FULLTEXT KEY from userid 2  from userid     KEY chatroom  chatroom     KEY timestamp  timestamp    ENGINE MyISAM
