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
