Hi everyone,

We've encountered this error on a MySql database with a utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation.

The issue comes from the query that tries to create the #__kunena_attachments table because the index for this table is too long. To fix this, we've previously created the table through this query where we've reduced the size of the 'filename' and 'filename_real' columns from 255 to 190:

CREATE TABLE `#__kunena_attachments` (`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,`mesid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`userid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`protected` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',`hash` char(32) NULL,`size` int(11) NULL,`folder` varchar(255) NOT NULL,`filetype` varchar(20) NOT NULL,`filename` varchar(190) NOT NULL,`filename_real` varchar(190) NOT NULL default '',`caption` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',PRIMARY KEY (id),KEY `mesid` (mesid),KEY `userid` (userid),KEY `hash` (hash),KEY `filename` (filename),KEY `filename_real` (filename_real) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

After this, we've been able to install Kunena 5.0.7 without any other issue. There may be some other checks to do with posts attachments but at least, Kunena is installed!

Updating from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8 failed on PHP 7. Manually set back PHP to 5.6.x and updated by uploading package. 5.0.8 to 5.0.9, failed again on PHP 7, setting PHP to 5.6.x and updated by uploading package. So IMO it is not fixed. Do users have to do the database fix manually?

The fix is only for clean installation of Kunena, so in your case by just doing an update of Kunena you aren't concerned by this fix.

Still the same error in J3.9.26 on PHP7.4 with a first time install of K5.2.4. So what is the solution?

Do not reopen any age-old topics. This topic has been created 4 years ago, so it can't be the same error.
Enable the debug mode, then try again the installation, and if you get error messages, create an own topic with this information, please.
Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!
