I have an issue when trying to install vB 5 connect v5.6.4, using the install script. It seems to connect to the correct database, but then generates an error when it cannot find the user table. No tables are created.
>> This is the error I receive when opening install/install.php:
mysqli_fetch_array(): Argument #1 ($result) must be of type mysqli_result, bool given
>> This is the log on the sql server:

Any idea where things are going wrong? Using PHP 8.0 and Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu).
Thanks in advance.
