Charset-Error in Setup-Procedure

Friday 24 June 2005 7:27:30 am

Hi there.

I encounter a very strange phenomenon when trying to install EZP: in the last step before closing the installation process I am given the warning ...

The database cannot be used, it uses the character set which is different from the requested charset iso-8859-1.

The database (MySQL 4.1.8a) is UTF-8, however, and charset for the database cannot be changed (=> shared webspace).

I changed the 'preferred and allowed charsets' for my German language isntallation by modifying the respective file share/locale folder - no way I can pass by that error message.

Is there any way I can teach EZP to store information in UTF-8 in my database not ISO-8859-1?

Any Feedback or help is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance!

Stefan.

Hi Birger.

First of all thanx for your reply. A had already been looking into the approach which you suggested. However it did not solve my problem.

Still I am stuck at the point where the EZP isntallation process tries to write things into the DB. Then I am given the above mentioned error message.

My DB-charset is 'latin1', collation is 'latin1_german2_ci'. As I am working with MySQL 4.1.8a there is no way I can set the charset to 'iso-8859-1'.

Anyone any idea what I am doing wrong here?
