• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question Change default character-set-server to utf8 - German umlauts?

Hi,

I changed my scripts from PHP 5.6 to 7.2 and from mysql_connect to mysqli_connect. The change to mysqli_connect brings problems saving the German umlauts correctly into a database. The files are UTF8 (no BOM), the database collation is utf8_general_ci.

If I change from the default "character_set_server latin1" to "character_set_server utf8" (via my.cnf and restarting mysql) everything seems fine with saving the German umlauts.

Is this really the correct way?

Does this "character_set_server utf8" effects the Plesk database in a negative way? Will I have trouble after updating Plesk?

Thanks & regards,

Ralph
