I recieved this error:

Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information. (Currently using Unicode library Error)

When installing Drupal, what is the best way to solve this problem? I have no idea where to start!

I am currently using ixweb hosting.

Don't you have Drupal's .htaccess file in your Drupal installation directory?

It should already contain these lines (3 times) which should take care of that.

php_value mbstring.http_input  pass
php_value mbstring.http_output  pass
php_value mbstring.encoding_translation  0

I do have those entries in my .htaccess file but can't do a fresh Drupal 5.3 install.

Having the the same problems doing a 5.3 install, the three above lines were not in my .htaccess file from 5.3? I changed the following:

# PHP 4, Apache 1.
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
  php_value register_globals                0
  php_value session.auto_start              0
  php_value mbstring.http_input             pass
  php_value mbstring.http_output            pass
  php_value mbstring.encoding_translation   0
</IfModule>

EDIT: I have other 5.3. installs w/o this problem so I must have messed up the .htaccess myself.
