I cannot refresh without cancelling the installation process?

If you click on the browser refresh button, the installation should continue.
If does not work, maybe you can install Kunena, when already the database tables exists.
Have you a test page? I've created empty Kunena tables. Import this empty tables (adjust prefix) and try again to install Kunena.
But make no experiments on your live page without full backup please.
Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!

Hi,
Thank you very much. I tried the following now:
- removing install.php + refreshing (no success, installation stops)
- removing all installed kunena-plugins, clearing the cache, dropping all *kunena*-tables in mysql.
- changed the table-name in your sql-file from "test_X" to "mytablename_X"
Now to see if this is a MySQL issue I did not try to reinstall Kunena but just tried to import the provided sql-file:
Now 2 interesting things are happening:
1. It only creates "mytablename_kunena_aliases" and "mytablename_kunena_announcements".
MySQL-Error-message:
"#1709 - Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes."
So this seems to be a config-related issue on the webhoster-side.
Will keep you posted! thanks for the help so far!

SUCCESS!
Adding "ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC" to the affected tables in the provided SQL-file did the trick.

Had to uninstall everything, imported the modified SQL, hit f5 during installation and TADA! :woohoo:

Thanks a lot!
