Critical error on /community/ with all other plugins off

My portal at saiditoutloud.com/community/ shows "There has been a critical error on this website." The rest of the site and wp-admin work fine.

It still fails with all other plugins deactivated and a default theme active. PHP is 8.1, memory is 512M, and caching and ModSecurity are ruled out. I deleted and reinstalled FluentCommunity earlier, and the reinstall skipped setup, so old data may still be in the database.

No debug.log is being created. Can you tell me how to find the cause, and how to fully reset the plugin's data?

Enable debug log, and then it should show the exact error.

Solved. The installer silently skipped fcom_space_user because my tables use MyISAM, and the user_id_status index (VARCHAR 194 plus VARCHAR 100 at utf8mb4) exceeds MyISAM's 1000-byte key limit. I created the table by hand as InnoDB and the portal now loads. Suggest the installer either use InnoDB or report the failure instead of skipping the table.
