Wrong character set detected while installing DB

Hi!

This is my first ezP installation. I've borrowed the 4.3.0 package.

Everything runs smoothly through the install wizard until the Step 9 (DB details).

As said in the doc: “It is required that the database uses UTF-8 as character set.”

Which is the case, as shown in the screenshot.

But the Wizard still argues that the DB has been created using a [iso-8859-1] character set.

Any idea to help me solve this pb?

Thanks!

I've found the problem. The DB was created with a utf8 caracter set. But the collation was set to latin1_swedish_ci. I've updated this to utf8-unicode_ci through phpMyAdmin.

Sorry for the noise!
