Question Unable to update to Kunena 6.4.9

Dear Gindi,
I really appreciate your support, although I'm very sorry that you're doing it even on weekends.
GiCh_site_template and GiCh_forum_template are custom templates made specifically for my websites, and they've worked perfectly well for me so far.

Tomorrow I'll set up the site and forum on Cassiopeia and let you know immediately.

However, I'd like to point out the following. Finding the error in the standard template could be important if other users have encountered a similar problem. On the one hand, given the huge number of Kunena users, this would be natural. But so far, I haven't noticed much interest in this topic.
On the other hand, it could be due to the somewhat "unique" nature of my websites—I've been using successive versions of Kunena almost since the very first versions, and over 18 years, some rudiments and pitfalls may have accumulated.

If this is the case, I'm willing to perform the update on a case-by-case basis.

Specifically: update the tables modified in K7 directly in phpMyAdmin, especially if the developers deem it possible to provide me with the appropriate scripts. Then I'll uninstall Kunena completely, as Rich suggested, install a clean version, fix the tables modified in K7 in the K6.3.10 tables backup, and import them into the database. I hope this plan works.

Although, of course, I'd prefer a regular solution.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the tips.
Perhaps it would be possible to create a backup of your website as a test version and activate Cassiopeia in it.
I just wanted to have system consistency between the test versions.
Since Kunena also takes entries from Joomla, it could be that Cassiopeia also has an influence on Kunena.
A current configuration report with Cassiopeia in the system might be helpful.

I hope this plan works.

That won't work because the configuration has been changed based on Joomla. Kunena 6.x won't be able to do anything with it.
As Gindi already wrote, disable your custom template along with any associated plugins and scripts, if there are any. Cassiopeia is continuously adapted to Joomla versions if changes make this necessary, so the Cassiopeia can be ruled out as a source of error.

Thank you.

I made a local version of the site with the Cassiopeia template (and disabled some extentions).
Unfortunately, installing 6.4.9 over 6.3.10 failed again.:

Kunena 6.4 has not been installed, aborting!
Extension Update:
Custom install routine failure. Error installing package

Below is the Configuration Report for 6.3.10.

If it can help, I can try to arrange a temporary public URL where my WampServer will be accessible through the cpolar service.
UPDATE: Alternatively, I can upload the site file in the Akeeba Backup format (jpa or another) to my google drive and give it access.

Database collation check: The collation of your table fields are correct

I can try. If you send me a .jpa file, I will install Xampp and try it out, but I can't promise that I will find the cause. If you post the download link privately, only we admins and moderators will be able to see it.
