Problem:
Moodle requires a MySQL database and before starting its installation process it will check the server to make sure that it meets all of its requirements. It will check for the presence of a number of PHP extensions and it will also check the MySQL database for Unicode support. If Unicode support is not enabled on the mysql database for your moodle installation, the installation process will give an error regarding lack of unicode support.
Resolution:
If Moodle identifies a problem with Unicode support, this can be resolved by running the following query on your database, using the DB admin tools within the control panel:
ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
This changes the default character set and collation for the database and should allow the Moodle installation to continue. |
