Question Fatal error - clean new installation - MySQLi database

I have never tried to install Kunena on a MySQLi database. You may find the following information is also useful: Technical Requirements - MySQL requirements

Check if you have Kunena - System plugin enabled and try to disable it. It will be automatically enabled again after the installation. If that doesn't work, try to enable the plugin and try again.

Okay: RESOLVED.

There were multiple issues:

• There was originally a misconfiguration in the php.ini file, the upload size was not high enough (1M) to accommodate the upload.
• There was a residual file left over after the first failure, and an automated security script on my server changed the permissions on that whole directory when I logged out. (I had previously assumed the permissions were correct, since I hadn't changed them myself and didn't know about the security script running in the background.)
• The Kunena package was corrupted by a change in permissions mid-operation, but still passed a basic CRC check, though it failed the MD5 hash check. Again, the security script appears to have been at fault.
• The Joomla! platform did not remove the failed package.

The fault was not with Kunena, though it failed with Kunena for obvious reasons, as stated above.

STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE:

1. Manually cleared the cache in Joomla! CMS.
2. Manually located and removed the corrupted file and all traces of Kunena.
3. Double-checked the settings to ensure compliance with both Joomla and Kunena.
4. Uploaded Kunena.
5. SUCCESS!
6. Configured Kunena.

Thanks, all, for the feedback. Though none of it directly resolved the issue, it sparked enough thought that I began thinking in different ways about it.

EDIT: Also, remembering to double-check and triple-check things meant that I was repeating a lot of work, but continuing to find issues. Ultimately, the issues seemed related to my server's configuration, more than anything else.

I am getting
Sorry, installation failed with following error:
Warning: DOMDocument::load(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/{site}/administrator/KPATH_ADMIN/install/install.xml" in /{site}/administrator/components/com_kunena/install/schema.php on line 206

Add it crashes rest of site. until uninstalled.

This is both on a working site and a fresh reinstall.
