Installer Fatal Error: ArgumentCountError 0

[jurajkapsz]

Master branch installation failed on following error:

Fatal Error: ArgumentCountError 0 - Too few arguments to function MySQL::setCharacterEncoding(), 0 passed in /install/lib/class.installer.php on line 484 and exactly 1 expected on line 451 of /symphony/lib/toolkit/class.mysql.php

class.installer.php function calls do not supply any encodings as the default encoding values were removed from class.mysql.php as compared to the official class.mysql.php version.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Following master branch installation instructions

Your Environment

• Version used: SCMS Extended v2.7.10
• Browser Name and Version: Chromium v94
• Operating System and Version (desktop or mobile): Xubuntu 20.04 LTS desktop
• PHP: v7.4.24

My fork is highly experimental and the install feature of Symphony CMS hasn't been tested or updated to reflect my changes. I would recommend installing using the official 2.7.x release from the offical repo (https://github.com/symphonycms/symphonycms/tree/2.7.x) then switch over to using my tweaked codebase.
