Umlaut issue with the german word "Gäste" while full-installation #76

Closed Rafioso closed 10 years ago

Rafioso commented 10 years ago

After a full-install the usergroup "guests" looks in german like this: Gäste This should be "Gäste".

It looks like a wrong charset during the MySQL-Connection.

We will use a new workaround to connect to the DB. Not only during the install, but also during BS itself, DB-Tool etc.

In the course of this changes, there will be some improvements during the installation such as an additional output of why the connection to the mysql server did not work directly from the server, instead of just a string, that the username, password etc are maybe wrong.

Also we remove in this version the auto-check of the running mysql-version in the conf/userdef.php. Both constat BS_DB_CHARSET and BS_HTML_CHARSET are set to UTF8 by default.
