I have an interesting phenomenon:

I tried to install Magento on http://www.fortrabbit.com/ but I get the following error. I'm sure on my first try it didn't happen, but the table creation broke at max_execution_time.

Validate class not found from basename 'StringLength'

I checked the file, it is there. I checked whether PHP enters the file, it does. I checked whether the name of the class is correct. It is.

Has anyone had this error before? I have no idea what to do. And I'm not sure, whether this site is the right place to ask for help. I think this problem might be really localized.

Update:

I tracked down to:

string(177) "Notice: iconv_strlen(): Wrong charset, conversion from `ISO-8859-1' to `UCS-4LE' is not allowed  in /htdocs/lib/Zend/Validate/StringLength.php on line 236"

Sounds more like you're running PHP in a chroot and you are missing required libraries for character encoding.

With the exception of a core bug in 1.3 - whenever we've been approached by someone with an iconv issue - it has always been due to a botched attempt of a PHP chroot - or fundamentally broken PHP/OS installation causing all kinds of charset issues.

The relative URL in your stack trace makes it look like it is a chroot. And if that is the case, then read more on what you *actually require for a PHP chroot to function properly - https://serverfault.com/a/430406/113375

Ok don't ask me why but the problem is here:

$length = iconv_strlen($value);

I replaced the iconv_strlen with a strlen temporarly and now magento is installed.
