Moved to this forum due to subject.

Which forum was it in originally? and where'd it get moved?

Edit: oh nevermind.

What does

pre_dump( $evo_charset, $io_charset );

result in in _main.inc.php, around line 654, after

$Debuglog->add( 'evo_charset (_main.inc.php): '.$evo_charset, 'locale' );
$Debuglog->add( 'io_charset (_main.inc.php): '.$io_charset, 'locale' );

?

I get the same error and i'm a total noob. So no latest build and no gallery plugin.

*sad panda*

If I'd had the requested output from above, I'd look at fixing it.

Without it, I'm doing other things first.

Sorry.

The problem only happens when there is no b2evo database, once b2evo is installed the installer works with no problems.

I inserted the pre_dump function where you wanted but it never ran... well in my page their was no <pre tags at all....

Try what i said above and delete your b2evolution database and it should happen to you as well....

I stuck the pre_dump right after the debuginfo output in install/index.php and heres the result;

''
'iso-8859-1'

Edit:
So here is the fix that has worked for both me and f3rn.
Configure b2evolution by manually modifing /conf/_basic_config.php, then when that is done try install.php, upgrade from existing database etc.
If you are doing a clean install (new database), do the same as above, but create your database via phpmyadmin, then chose new install in install.php

I've just abstracted the charset handling, please test it again in a few hours, when anonymous CVS catches up. _locale.funcs.php should be revision 1.9.

Thanks.

Will do.

Solved? I mean, is CVS HEAD and v-1-9 installable for you?

Hrmm this thread is a bit old...

Umm well 1.8.1 is installing fine, cvs i haven't fidled with since 1.8's release.

I will install the cvs head and the 1.9 branch later when i have time, so probz next weekend.
