I have read a great deal on these forums regarding the characterset not being accepted during installation, to no avail. I still cannot get past this check in the installation script. I submitted the following MySQL query which was successfully executed: ALTER DATABASE `ezpub` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
The database characterset reads as being set to utf8
I have selected eng-US as the language Still I cannot get past this problem in the script. The MySQL manual indicates that the statement above will change the default character set, and it appears to have done so. I do not understand why the check continues to fail. Help from anyone would be greatly appreciated

Hi Xavier, I am running PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58 My settings are a little different from my original post as I am continuing to experiment. I am in the installation script, having selected eng-GB as the language. At the Site Details screen after selecting the database mentioned above I get the following message: Warning The database cannot be used, it uses the character set which is different from the requested charset iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2, iso-8859-3, iso-8859-4, iso-8859-9, iso-8859-10, iso-8859-13, iso-8859-14, iso-8859-15, windows-1252, windows-1250, cp850, dec-mcs. The current character set is (on this iteration) latin1 latin1_bin - which I understand from other postings on this forum is aliased to iso-8859-1. Thanks for your help

I am also having exactly the same problems as reported above, has anybody found a solution to this problem yet? My database name uses _-_ in the middle of it (a name format imposed by hosting) other people have reported problems with this that may be related to the characterset problem.

Well it is very easy.... you need mysql 4.1 and above ALTER DATABASE `ezpub` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci won't execute below 4.1, meaning 4.1 onyl has real unicode support
