• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Problem with Migration Manager (Collations)

Dear all,

I've ran into problems while running the migration manager to migrate from FreeBSD4.9/Plesk7.5.2 to FreeBSD6.0/Plesk8.0. The migration manager complains with

ERROR 1267 (HY000) at line 1: Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='

It seems that all databases were created with latin1.

The knowledge base says that one must try setting character_set_connection and collation_connection to utf8, which is not entirelly true because collation_connection sould be set to utf8_general_ci.

One way of setting this vars is with the init_connection parameter in my.cnf. The problem is that for admin users, this is not executed (for "security" reasons as stated in mysql docs), so putting this setting in my.cnf has no effect at all.

Anyone of you has a workaround for this?

Thank you in advance.
Antonio
