Re: error on update 4.5.7 > 4.6.2

I would install the rvm_latin1_to_utf8 plugin from ruud and try to update again after that.
i’m going to second attempt to solve my character set issue. I forgot about this problem in the meantime. :)
so. at the top of that suggested plugin is written:
# Alter pre-MySQL 4.1 tables to use UTF-8 charset
my site is running MySQL 5.5.31 – is it still safe to install and run that plugin?

Hi Gallex,
I guess that ruud on the plugin thread would be able to respond to that question.

Re: error on update 4.5.7 > 4.6.2
@Gallex, yes, that line in the plugin refers to the fact that pre-MySQL tables didn’t use UTF-8. It’s likely those tables haven’t changed even though your MySQL version was updated. It’s safe to use the plugin, but as always, backup first.

It sounds that not all files have been uploaded successfully but hopefully somebody with more knowledge will be able to pinpoint the problem more accurately and possibly more correctly.

Dammit. Didn’t think of that. Just delete that directory and its contents by hand, then it’ll carry on. Sorry for the trouble.

Re: error on update 4.5.7 > 4.6.2
Hi Gallex,
I expect all is running OK now. The 4.6 releases use utf8mb4 when freshly installed. Maybe you should consider using ruud’s rvm_utf8_to_utf8mb4 plugin now and for the future. I tested it on my sites by updating ALL txp tables and it works just fine.
As always backup your db before using.
