Hi all,

I want to enable UTF8 support for mysql.Thats why I have installed mysql 4.1
on a Win2K server and set the appropriate character set parameter at my.ini
file. As the mysql service starts, I get the error that mysql can not find
the utf8.xml file.

mysqld-opt: File 'D:\mysql\share\charsets\utf8.xml' not found (Errcode: 2)
mysqld-opt: Character set 'utf8' is not a compiled character set and is not
spec
ified in the 'D:\mysql\share\charsets\Index.xml' file
030605 15:38:07 Aborting

Can anybody send me the xml file or tell me where to find it?

Regards
Okan

It's a known bug. MySQL 4.1.0 was compiled without unicode support. It will be fixed in the next 4.1 release.

In the not so distant future, there will be documentation for UTF8
support available in the manual. Thank you for your patience!

You should also be aware that utf8 is _not_ specified in an XML file. It
is a 'compiled' character set, which means it can only be enabled during
the compilation of the server.

We made an oversight and missed this file when we compiled the Windows
version of 4.1.0, but this has been fixed for release 4.1.1.
