similar to: Mysql collations error

I thought you might be interested in how far I have got with solving my problem with MySql(via phpMyAdmin) to website character_set problems. I thought I had solved the problem when my characters on my website started showing the special characters. This was a partial success though. When I went back to phpMyAdmin and entered new text the problem was the same, but reversed. What now happens is

Hi, I have some seed data in MySql which contains non-ASCII characters (as you''d imagine as these are worldwide placenames that I''m storing). In MySql on the command line they look great, they''re all formatted perfectly, including Arabic and Chinese characters and they look great. However, when I ask my Rails model for one of these fields, and render that in the

Hi! I have ran on problem with collations. In database.yml I have set: encoding: utf8, but when in console run: >> ActiveRecord::Base.connection.collation => "latin1_swedish_ci" It is Rails 2.1, mysql gem 2.7, mysql 5.1.22.

Hi all, I am trying to configure utf8 in mysql under centos6 to display special characters, like accents. I use this mysql instance to store plain syslog logs. I have configured this under my.cnf: [mysqld] init_connect = 'SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci' init_connect = 'SET NAMES utf8' character-set-server = utf8 collation-server = utf8_general_ci [client]

Dear members, It may sound a silly question. I have curl installed: # pkg_info |grep curl curl-7.24.0_3 Non-interactive tool to get files from FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S) Today portsnap updated the ftp/curl port, and patch-CVE-2013-2174 appeared in files/, but the port version remained such that portaudit, and portupgrade still complain about curl's version. What is the recommended way to

I am switching to a composite primary key (string and user ID) from the Rails conventional auto-incrementing integer primary ID. The table is large (2.5 million records) and I''d rather not discard the contents. The composite_primary_key gem doesn''t appear to support altering the table with a migration to do its magic, only creating a table from scratch. So I dumped the table

Currently I'm using user_query = SELECT 1000 AS uid, 1000 AS gid, '/srv/vmail/%2.256Hu/%Lu' AS home, ... so I'm hashing based on %u (basically). But in my SQL db I have a "unique_identifier" field, which never changes, even when the user is changing his/her email address (due to marriage or the like). What I'd really like to do is to use %u to find the value of the

Hi I''m trying to use german characters on a ruby on rails application, but for get ? on dropwdown menus. The database, tables and fields are encoded utf8_general_ci.

Hello, I have a mysql database with a InnoDB table in utf8_general_ci encoding. Inside this table there is a column "path", varchar(255), utf8_general_ci. What I am trying to do now, is to use this path from the database to look up a local file and transmit this file to the user. The problem is, that my program is not able to open any files, that contain special characters (e.g.

Estimados Les envío dos archivos, el primero es mysql, el segundo es el código R. A ambos los ejecuté en ubuntu 14.04, anteriormente en mi script tenía anotado, se ve feo pero anda, esto es referente a los acentos, hoy se ve feo (codificado no en español) y rjson produce un error, básicamente me informa que no es UFT-8. Desconozco que pasa, ¿alguna idea? Desde ya muchas gracias. Javier

Does anyone know a good authentication tutorial they can suggest? I''ve tried several restful authentication ones and an authlogic one on RailsCast. But with each one I try, something seems to be missing in the tutorial and I can''t get it to work. I''m new to Rails so it''s possible user error on my part. I''m on Mac OS X 10.5 and I generate all my apps in

Hello, I want to change the connection collation that rails uses but I''m unsure of exactly what the best way to do this is. Everything in MySQL - the server, database and all tables are set to utf8_unicode_ci collation, but the connection collation in rails still appears to be utf8_general_ci (the default?). We are using the mysql2 adapter. I''ve seen a couple of possible

As far as I can tell, if I''m using MySQL and I set the character set and collation on my databases when I create them (e.g. CREATE DATABASE project_development CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATION utf8_general_ci), when I run db:test:prepare it''ll lose that information because db:test:purge drops and recreates my database without bothering to check what my character set and collation

Hi there, I know this is off-topic or semi off-topic but I really need some help since I am stucked. I'm trying to redirect MariaDB logs to `/var/log/mysql/*.log` files as shown below on the `/etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf` file: # # These groups are read by MariaDB server. # Use it for options that only the server (but not clients) should see # # See the examples of server

I am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly. Now I have upgraded to 0.14.2 and the umlauts are being displayed at ''?''s. I changed the encoding of the page and it is UTF-8. I have also tried the steps listed at

Not sure if this is off topic, but there doesn''t seem to be an obvious place to ask this question. I am trying to use MacPorts to install mysql.

Any thoughts on how to avoid this problem? Already tried: 1. Setting the charset and collation in migration 001 - no effect: def self.up db_name = ActiveRecord::Base::connection.current_database() execute "ALTER DATABASE #{db_name} CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin" end 2. Setting the charset and collation on each table individually - no effect:

Hi all According to the Agile 2nd Ed book I added the line encoding: utf8 to my database.yml connections. But now when running rake I get plenty of errors: Character set ''utf-8'' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the ''/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/charsets/Index'' file What''s wrong here? I checked this Index file, but it seems to
