  • Hi, I have tried to install the latest Mariadb adI recieve an error message saying .net does not support utf8mb3, I have followed these instructions to change it to utf8mb4

    Changing the Default Character Set To UTF-8
    To change the default character set from latin1 to UTF-8, the following settings should be specified in the my.cnf configuration file.

    [client]
    ...
    default-character-set=utf8mb4
    ...
    [mysql]
    ...
    default-character-set=utf8mb4
    ...
    [mysqld]
    ...
    collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    init-connect='SET NAMES utf8mb4'
    character-set-server = utf8mb4
    ...

    after having restarted the services I still get the same isues

    I have installed the same version of mariadb as in teh 1.4.4 installer and I have no issues


  • I'll need to test with the newest version of MariaDB and see what has changed.
