Still have the "windows-1252 Encoding Error" in 5.0.1

[Anton Wiklund]

I still get the "windows-1252 Encoding Error" when I try to make a new install.


In the bug report it says that this error should have been fixed: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/...issue-tabpanel
but apparently it's not.. can someone help?

[Wayne Luke]

If you change the encoding in the file, you should be able to work around this. Otherwise, you need to petition to reopen the JIRA issue. Please include your updated information.

[Anton Wiklund]

Thanks for the reply Luke.
How to I change the encoding on the files? And what files should I change?
(I'm not updating I'm doing a fresh install)

[Wayne Luke]

The files are listed in the issue you linked to. The encoding is on the first line of the file. You would replace Windows-1251 with ISO-8859-1

[Anton Wiklund]

I have all files with "ISO-8859-1" still I get the same error and the install get aborted..

[Anton Wiklund]

Any ideas how I can get around this error and get vb5 installed?
Btw im trying to install this local with wampserver 2 if that should make a difference..

Mr Wiklund, I have the same issue as you. Have you tried any other WAMP server? I have had this same problem for weeks and yesterday I tried this http://www.uniformserver.com/.



As you can see by this thread http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...on-this-server, I have had some progress.

Actually, that error is due to xdebug. Please disable that and then try the install.

[Anton Wiklund]

This is how my php.ini file look like:
xdebug.remote_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:/wamp/tmp"

So I guess it's already disabled?
I also tried to encode all the xml files into UTF-8. Still get the same error when I try to install..

[DemOnstar]

Been a while.

So I guess it's already disabled? I also tried to encode all the xml files into UTF-8. Still get the same error when I try to install..

Are you getting the same references to XDebug within the error message?

Been a while. .................Bump.................

Are you having an XDebug error also?

[Anton Wiklund]

Trevor or Lynne, do you have any idea how to solve this?
I would really like to get this software installed.

So far I been trying to turn xdebug off, replace the encoding in the xml file with UTF8..
This is the files I have tried to change:
core/install/vbulletin-widgets.xml
-routes.xml
-pagetemplates.xml
-pages
-channels.xml

Still get this error:
Install 5.0.1

Status: Aborted

Are you having an XDebug error also?

That is correct. I too also used WAMP server 2. Same problem.

[Zachery]

Did you disable x-debug?

[DemOnstar]

Did you disable x-debug?

I may have disabled 2 months ago but I have forgotten how and where to do it.

[Trevor Hannant]

Find your PHP.ini and look for XDebug.

Set xdebug autostart to false

xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.remote_enable=0

Disable your profiller

xdebug.profiler_enable=0
