Problems Upgrading From WordPress 2.6.3 to 2.7

  • Okay, I had a similar problem when I upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6.3 (see my profile for my other thread).

    But this time, all my database information has been entered correctly, I get to the install page, it gives me my generated password, and then when I go to the login page…

    It takes me straight back to the install page to repeat the process.

    Any ideas? ??

  • When I tried the install I received the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation ‘=’]
    SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘home’

    Have you checked to see if the collation for your Database, the tables in your DB, and the collation of your config.php file are all the same. I would recommend making them all utf8.

    As far as I can tell they’re all the same, but how would I know for sure?

    (I’m still learning WordPress, obviously) – ??

    Do you have access to phpMyAdmin? If so, you can tell db encoding and table encoding there…and change them if needed.

    It seems as if you are using a series of different collations for your site. latin1_swedish_ci and utf8_general_ci

    It strikes me that the code is attempting to upgrade your DBs but can’t due to the latin1_swedish_ci collations.

    Try switching them all to utf8

    Alright, well I don’t have phpMyAdmin, I just use Filezilla and Wordpad to edit the files…

    So how do I switch them all to utf8?

    (pardon my lack of knowledge…)
