    help question Error Msg After "Upgrade Database" clicked

    Hi There,

    I'm upgrading from 138a to 139h. I followed all the instructions and the steps in order.

    When I got to the point where it was time to click on "Update Database", I clicked the button and got this error message:


    1253 COLLATION 'latin1_general_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
    in:
    [CREATE TABLE zen_counter_history_clean as SELECT * FROM zen_counter_history WHERE 1 GROUP BY startdate COLLATE latin1_general_ci;]



    Suggestions on the issue and the resolution?

    TIA

    When I got to the point where it was time to click on "Update Database", I clicked the button and got this error message:
    You have Evidently changed the DB to be used with UTF8 character set. If that's what you want to continue using, then change the DB_CHARSET in /zc_install/includes/installer_params.php to 'utf8' before using zc_install.

    Hi Kobra,

    Thanks for the fast response :)

    I never touch my database unless specifically instructed, and only when I have specific steps to follow because I'm not familiar enough with it to avoid screwing it up

    I'm wondering if UTF8 is a default setting on my server.

    At any rate, before I go make this change to that file, is there another character set I should be using in my database that's better or more universal than UTF8?

    And if so, is there a tut somewhere that will help me learn how to change that in PHPMyAdmin?

    TIA

    Default ZenCart is latin_swedish_ci
    utf8 is also fine and it really depends upon the language you are using
    And if so, is there a tut somewhere that will help me learn how to change that in PHPMyAdmin?
    Googe phpmyadmin or mysql and collation

    ok, in PHPMyAdmin, I see this:

    MySQL connection collation

    It has a drop down box of various char sets to choose from.

    Would I want to select this option, per the error:

    latin1_general_ci'

    And if so, will this affect other databases I have, such as WordPress?

    Ok :) Disregard my last post :)

    I'll leave it at UTF8 and change the file per your suggestion :)

    Thanks a bunch!
