I Have installed phpwcms via Fantastico Cpanel

I Have installed phpwcms via Fantastico Cpanel. Will I have problems in future with updates or other issues?
My only problem for them moments is that in the phpwcms I can write and read greek characters but in the database I can't read the greek characters (I use phpadmin of my ISP hosting provider). They look like ##and other strange characters. Can I do anything?

What version You use

i think that in fantastico is old release ( 1.1-RC4 )
so best thing to do before you start install new version

and use UTF-8 coding ( also in setup procedure u have other option for character coding )


Best regards

Yes you are right. It is an old version 1.1-RC
What I can do. What do you suggest me?

Do I need to install in my directory from scratch php, pache,mysql and phpwcms or is there any other way ?

thanks in advance

what you have found in database are entity encoded chars. This is how special chars are used when no matching charset in browser is used.

It's not recommend to use Fantastico install. There is no support for Fantastico users.
