I get one error message:
Could not "SET NAMES latin1"!

This error is repeated later under the Locale: heading:

default_locale from conf: en-EU
default_locale from DB: de-DE
default_locale from HTTP_ACCEPT: de-DE
Could not "SET NAMES latin1"!
evo_charset (_main.inc.php): iso-8859-1
io_charset (_main.inc.php): iso-8859-1
Activating blog locale: de-DE

Make any sense?

Not to me, wait for a developer to post something else.

And where did you get your version of b2evolution from?

Edit:
In the meantime try commenting out this line (home/www/ww9286/html/blog/inc/_connect_db.inc.php:46)

Thanks, will do! I've done some research, and it appears that for different locales, B2Evo tries to set different MySQL text types. My hosting provider doesn't seem to allow the setting of latin1 to be used with that particular MySQL installation. But we'll wait for one of the dev guys to shed some more light on this.

Straight from the repository using the anonymous account, specifying the v-1-8 branch.

From sourceforge? If so, can you do a post on how u got it [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net//viewtopic.php?t=6810]here[/url]. I don't like cvs programs, i prefer just using the file in my sig for getting cvs builds ;) But that's not the v-1-8 branch :( which i need to get a copy of.

See the other topic for my reply. I just looked what my TortoiseCvs put in the output window, it uses the normal CVS command line syntax.

Works fine for me, except for the error message this topic was originally about. ;)

Nope. Normally using something from CVS is using something that the developers have not released and make no promise as to reliability or compatibility with any future releases. Having said that, I've used a CVS version and have suffered dearly for it. You are free to make the same mistake I did, just be aware that it is a mistake to run the CVS version on a live site.

There's whitespace at the end of the file ;)
