latin1 to utf8

[ASTRAPI]

Hello

I want the easiest way to convert my database from latin1 to utf8 and what other settings i must do to my system ex:php.ini , my.cnf to have full utf8?

Thank you

I have been in this process myself, and I used this article as my guide. Highly recommended, since it also convert all characters to the new set. Though it requires full SSH support with Perl (DBI and DBD-MySQL).
The script is almost at the end of the article, starting with # wget.
