UTF8 through myPhpAdmin

If you have a new, empty database and you chose to enable UTF support, then you may very well get the error message about the wrong character set in your database. It can be confusing because there are many kinds of UTF8 although the installer does not help you understand this.
The solution is to go to MyPhpAdmin and run a query on your empty database, such as
ALTER DATABASE mydatabasename CHARACTER SET utf8
This will choose the particular type of UTF8 that Exponential is looking for and you can continue installing.

Sorry...
obviously you have to choose the name of your own schema instead of 'open_garden' ;-)

Hi!
When you create the database (or schema) for your site do it manually typing the following:
CREATE DATABASE open_garden CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
iso-8859-1.

Hello,
I got this message at the install:
The database cannot be used, it uses the character set which is different from the requested charset iso-8859-1.
Why there are so different bugs in this CMS. Everything is wrong by installation of EZ.

Bad constellation of EZ!
