Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Akabane Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Hello, We recently converted our DB to UTF-8. We still see tons of bugs and support says it may be related to the following problem : We can't figure how to use this settings in the global conf : $INFO['sql_charset'] = 'utf8';Sadly, when using this, the DB crash right away... :x (well, we get IPB error DB screen "Your settings could not be read by IP.Board. This is a fatal error and IP.Board cannot function while this issue persists.")And it does crash too on a new server with a brand new UTF8 install...It seems we forgot to setup something server side, any idea what should that be? What parameters are crucial for mysql when using UTF-8 ? Any idea is welcome. ;)
PeterUK Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 What kind of access do you have to your server? Root? Check your my.cnf file and see what collation_server and character_set_server are equal to. Then check your php.ini and see what default_charset is equal to. This will check PHP and MySQL are talking to eachother using UTF-8.
Akabane Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks, I'll try that on one of the servers. The other one, sadly, host too many non-utf8 websites. :(
