1: Error creating Administrator
Posted by Mickael Cappozzo on 04/17/02 04:00 PM
During installation of Opan ACS 4.5 beta 1, the system can't create
the administrator : The page cannot be displayed (IE6)

Message in the error log :

[17/Apr/2002:16:02:13][27158.7176][-conn4-] Notice: ns_getform using

One possibiliy is that you have set an invalid default charset in your aolserver startup script. For example "set charset iso8859-1" (or something similar) is bad, "set charset iso-8859-1" is good :)

Sorry, in my answer i forgot the "iso-8859-1" line in your log file. It looks like "ns_encodingforcharset" does not return the correct encoding for iso-8859-1 (returns "") ...
