jomsocial database upgrade hangs on "prepare database"
ISSUE SUMMARY: Upgrading to 4.15, but got stuck in the middle of the process on "preparing database" (please see pic in attachment). I am aware of similar threads here, but hesitate to delete menus and components as instructed in the post, because this is a live site with around 11000 members.
STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 login to admin
2 click on Jomsocial - it is stuck at installer
3 click on "install"
4 the process stops at "preparing database"
Too many keys specified; max 64 keys allowed SQL=ALTER TABLE `oslr4_community_users` ADD INDEX ( `alias`)
Please, contact with your hosting provider and mention about error above.

Hi Michal,
I have set up another server (with a different host) to test the site and it is throwing the same error. I am using KloxoMr on both servers.
Do you think it is the VPS provider or Kloxo causing the issue?
Hi Michal,
I have contacted the tech support guys and here is the answer I got:
Hi Nicholas,
It appears to be an issue with the plugin queries and no errors reported at the server logs,however I can see that the InnoDB support is disabled the server.
MariaDB [(none)]> show engines;
| Engine | Support | Comment | Transactions | XA | Savepoints |
| InnoDB | NO | Percona-XtraDB, Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | NULL | NULL | NULL |
Please have a check with the concerned plugin support and let us know if there is any modifications need to be done at the server level.
