    ->   `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
    ->   `name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL ,
    ->   `description` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL ,
    ->   `live_start_date` DATETIME NULL DEFAULT NULL ,

giving following error

    That is because of server SQL Mode – NO_ZERO_DATE.

    From the reference: NO_ZERO_DATE – In strict mode, doesn’t allow '0000-00-00' as a valid date. You can still insert zero dates with the IGNORE option. When not in strict mode, the date is accepted but a warning is generated.
