Hi all,

Since my provider updated the MySQL database from version 3.23.58 to 5.0.18 the usernames are case sensitive. Does anyone has this problem to and is there a solution to solve this. It is quite irritating to use case-sensitive usernames i think,

Thanks,

Frank

PS. it looks like this problem:

Hi All,

At last i found the solution (with the help of Jan of the Dutch support forums):

Change the characterset (collation) of the uname/loginname field of the users table to an case insensitive characterset. In my case i changed it to latin1_general_ci (ci stands for Case insensitive).

Greetings,
Frank
