server error 500 after upgrade

i would look in:

includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

and see if you have the code:

define('CHARSET', 'utf8');

the utf8 should be utf-8.

on v154, the charset is defined (for english) in:

includes/languages/english.php and has:

  define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

but something is overriding it. and i'm guessing the template.

good luck.

yes that was it. someone should tell the gentleman above who also has the same warning.
