[Solved] Error For Xenforo Forums

That requires InnoDB support, which is read only on Stevie due to damage from the crash earlier today. As a result, you can't install that right now.

 

The InnoDB database engine, while nice for its advanced features, is quite unreliable and crashes if you so much as look at it wrong. It also has a habit of taking all your data with it when it goes. InnoDB has crashed 6 times in two years, each resulting in significant data loss. On the other hand, MyISAM is much more stable and has never lost any data in the ten years we've been in operation.

 

I'd recommend using software that can use MyISAM database tables (you'll need to do some research, if I remember right phpBB and SMF were the two big ones that could do this easily). If you don't wish to do this, wait until the server is repaired, then install xenforo. Just make sure you make database backups frequently, as you will likely need them the next time the database server crashes.
