- Description
If you install a brand new Tiki6 site, and your database was created with latin1 charset (by sys admin, phpmyadmin, by whatever means), Tiki doesn't warn you at installation time that the db is using latin1.
Only when you upgrade the Tiki6 site, tiki detects that db and tables are not utf-8, and allows converting them to utf-8.
This can be reproduced easily with the TikiLiveCD 0.6, which came (from a customized Slax GNU/Linuxd distro) with an empty db called "test" with latin1 charset, that is to be used for Tiki installation.
http://tiki.org/TikiLiveCD- Solution
ensure that tiki-install.php check for the charset/collation/whatever from the db to install the brand new tiki, and if not in utf-8, then convert it to utf-8 before creating the mysql tables
