[SOLVED] Install Error - Specified Key was too long

[SOLVED] Install Error - Specified Key was too long was created by mredmond13
I am running a Joomla 4 (latest update was today), with PhP 8.1 and MySQL 5.6.
I use GoDaddy to host my site.
I have tried installing the CB package from a downloaded package  and via the web.
In both instances I get the following error:
 

In January 2022, a similar post indicated that this could a problems with InnoDB, but I have no idea how to check this.
Any help on getting this installed? Thanks in advance.

Contact your host. Their default InnoDB settings are incorrect. Typically only way they can fix that is moving you to a newer server with database properly configured already unless they allow individual database configuration, which I doubt.

I also do not recommend using GoDaddy for hosting. There are significiantly higher quality hosts available like SiteGround, DigitalOcean, our own hosting , and even Joomla offers hosting via ScalaHosting.

Will also review adding more length limits to database indexes which might also fix this for you even for incorrectly configured databases.

A new release is now available that you can try. It might still not fix your issue as the 767 byte limit is very limiting and it won't guarantee you won't have issues in the future.

You were correct. I moved the site to another host and CB loaded without any issues.
Thanks for your help.
