I updated my mysql server to version 4.1.12 (latest in ubuntu 5.1). I also set the default character set to utf8 in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf for both mysqld and mysql sections. In mysql, I can do this: mysql> show variables like "char%"; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | | character_set_connection | utf8 | | character_set_database | utf8 | | character_set_results | utf8 | | character_set_server | utf8 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec) Yet, when I launch mysql-administrator and attempt to connect to my server (which is localhost on my machine) as the root user, I STILL get: Character set 'utf8' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index' file So, this is bogus since mysql reports that utf8 is being used. why do I still get this idiotic error? Yes, I've restarted mysqld after changing configurations. -- .''`. Carl B.
