Install Error - Step 2 Fault

**stevescott34** · 28-04-2012, 12:55 AM

100% Complete
Incorrect string value: '\xA1Tiene...' for column 'answer' at row 1 INSERT INTO `webid_faqs_translated` VALUES (2, 'ES', 'Registrarse', 'Para registrar un nuevo usuario, haz click en RegíÃ‚Â*strate en la parte superior de la pantalla. Se te preguntarán tus datos personales, un nombre de usuario, una contraseña e informacion de contacto como la direccion e-mail. ¡Tienes que ser mayor de edad para poder registrarte!');

Tried it on Win 2003 , Win 2008 , PHP 5 , MySQL 5.1. Ran version 1.0.1 before with no issues a while back.

I see there is mention of this in another thread with no real solution. ( tried re-installing MySQL with older and new versions.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks

Check your database collation and set it to utf8 general ci... that should fix your problem

I encountered problem when i tried to install it. Is this something to do with compatibility with the new version?..I tried to removed the old one and it says that you have to remove all of the packages as well to avoid errors when you are going to install the new one..That's what happened to me when i tried to install the new version.

I am still having the same problem. #2 mentioned to check database collation and set it to utf8 general ci.

I created database in mysql command line with this line:
CREATE DATABASE WeBidDatabase CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

I am doing it right or wrong ?
