This is due to MySQL not accepting zero as a valid default date and thus the table creation fails a constraint check on creation.

You probably have NO_ZERO_DATE enabled in your MySQL configuration. Setting this to off will allow you to create the table or alternatively remove the default 0 value or change it to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
