Issue:
I have altered my DB to utf8, but I still get this message:
The database [xxx_-_38] cannot be used, the setup wizard wants to create the site in [utf-8] but the database has been created using character set []. You will have to choose a database having support for [utf-8] or modify [xxx_-_38] .
<b>
So I ask you smart guys: What do I have to do then, when I change my DB to UTF-8, and I try with all of the utf-8 variants I can, no luck.</b> Soon I give up EZ.

I had some strange similar issue like You... Try to remove - from the database name (rename xxx_-_38 to xxx38) and try again.

Vjeran, I understand, but my created databases have the name:
xxx_-_38 where the domain is: xxx = taon_-_38 my creation is just 38, the system makes the rest... I can try but I do not think I can change the name..

I have this very same issue. I'm not able to go beyond the "Site details" installation step, it says:
The database [uv0027_noticias] cannot be used, the setup wizard wants to create the site in [utf-8] but the database has been created using character set [iso-8859-1]. You will have to choose a database having support for [utf-8] or modify [uv0027_noticias]
How could it be fixed?

i got this problem first time a month before x-mas 2005, aprox.
Now I have tried so many things, and the issues seems to be the php version, regarding the mySQL problem. I have also asked the EZ team about any solution, and the best they came up with, even when I asked how much they would charge to fix my setup, was that I should alter my db to utf-8, so it seams like a server related isse, that I cant solve. Now I am giving up this CMS, They have made it TOO specific for server-ware, so It cant be used on LAMP in general, but an ez special configured solution. They are in general a bit expencive for the low cost projects, but in range for the medium and up. But MY problem is that I do not want to pay a minimum 4000 NOK a year to be able to set up, test and maintain, develope on an EZ -- I had a EZ running on my own until the php was updated. So long ez. It was fun.

Hi Kristof... if you're asking, I've got the same problem as Thomas.
Using the install wizard it comes up the the error...
--------------------
Warning
The database [crewmark_com_au_-_xportal] cannot be used, the setup wizard wants to create the site in [utf-8] but the database has been created using character set []. You will have to choose a database having support for [utf-8] or modify [crewmark_com_au_-_xportal] .
--------------------
My set up is:
MySQL 4.1.20
PHP4.4.2
Exponential 3.8.3 (tried with 3.8.1 also)
Database MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
I was running 3.8 on another server
MySQL 4.1.19
PHP4.4.2
Exponential 3.8 No problem on the previous. Any ideas?
It's not easy being easy.

Hi everyone,
I had similar problems, with different php and mysql versions.
It seems that somehow this is a mysql issue.
Once I removed all non-literal characters from the database name, the setup wizard accepted it and everything went smoothly. This was on a 3.8.6 version.
cheers,
Guglielmo

This thread looks a bit outdated, but I found a simple fix to the problem. Log into your webserver's cPanel, go to PHP MyAdmin, select your database, then select "Operations" and then at the bottom, you'll see "Coalition" and a drop down menu where you can select utf-8 and "go". As soon as I did that, everything worked.
