charset not supported

  • i’m trying to test multiple sites on some new servers we are readying.
    moving from mysql on the local server to multiple remote mysql servers (multi-master with slaves)
    most sites work fine, but i have one, where all i get is :

    charset isn’t supported in HyperDB for security reasons

    how the hell do i find out which charset it doesn’t like and where in the database that charset is used? i’ve dumped the database and gone through all the table settings, changing everything to utf8 and collate to utf8_general_ci, still doesn’t work, but i can see various charset = *** in insert statements, so i’m assuming it’s some of these it doesn’t like.

  • I got around this problem by leaving the default charset definition in the wp-config.php file. I.e.

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    This stops the error however I can not guarantee that this will work as my install isn’t working yet.
