During install i got this error:
<i>"The database cannot be used, it uses the character set iso-8859-1 which is different from the requested charset iso-8859-15"</i>

Anyone knows what i have to do, to install correct charset or to install Exponential anyway?

PHP ver. 4.3.3 and running in CGI mode (i ignore the alert, is this the problem?)

Thx to all

Hi Lorenzo,

You have this error because you have choosen language which uses iso-8859-15 encodiong, however your database encoding is in iso-8859-1. You will have to change encoding of your database to iso-8859-15 or use english language. UTF-8 encoding is also good and more universal.
