If i try to connect to MySQL from PHP i receive an error, that says that "character set #9 couldn't be initialized". PHP tries to look for a directory with charsets somewhere in /usr/local/..., but the charsets are installed in /usr/share/mysql/charsets - that's where they are installed from rpm. I added to my.cnf a line in [client] section (as in manual) and daemon is running with --default-character-set=latin2. All other (non-PHP) applications connect without problems and everything is running OK. What else can i do to enable using latin2 charset?
