GNU Info (mysql.info)Cannot initialize character set`Cant' initialize character set xxx' error. ------------------------------------------- If you get an error like: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't initialize character set xxx This means one of the following things: * The character set is a multi-byte character set and you have not support for the character set in the client. In this case you need to recompile the client with `--with-charset=xxx' or with `--with-extra-charsets=xxx'. Note: configure options. All standard MySQL binaries are compiled with `--with-extra-character-sets=complex' which will enable support for all multi-byte character sets. Note: Character sets. * The character set is a simple character set which is not compiled into `mysqld' and the character set definition files is not in the place where the client expect to find them. In this case you need to: * Recompile the client with support for the character set. Note: configure options. * Specify to the client where the character set definition files are. For many client you can do this with the `--character-sets-dir=path-to-charset-dir' option. * Copy the character definition files to the path where the client expect them to be. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
