[Fri Jun 8 00:04:30 2007] [notice] Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_ssl/2.8.27 OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a configured -- resuming normal operations
[Fri Jun 8 00:04:30 2007] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)
File 'NONEXISTENT/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)
Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the 'NONEXISTENT/charsets/Index' file

I did the recompile php --with-mysql.. still same error, anybody any idea what causes this?

Are you using a fairly uncommon character-set? (I'll apologize in advance for appearing to be culturally-insensitive, but we need to know if it is possible that the character set you're trying to use is nationally- or even regionally-limited, and therefore needs to be downloaded and installed manually. Being a technical forum, it's unsafe to make assumptions when sufficient information is not present.)

I don't think so.. MySql uses ascii-bin (utf-8)
sites using charset=iso-8859-1

Or is this error coming complet from somewhere else?

[jdMorgan]

I found some possibly-useful information by a search [google.com] on the error message:

this is because PHP's MySQL client version is 3.23.49 and your installation is 4.1.xx.
On my machine I copied files 'Index' + 'win1250.conf' to c:\mysql\share\charsets. Look at archived source in dev.mysql.com.

So if your PHP installation's "hook" into MySQL is a different version than your MySQL version, that may be the cause. If not, you may want to dig through those search results some more.

ahh figured it out, not sure it works but at least that silly error message is gone.

Removed the default-charset thingies in (/etc/my.cnf) file :)
