    Hello! ??

    I get the following error message. But the web host doesn’t give that error message on other sites. So can’t be the server? So what’s wrong? ??

    “This server’s database does not support the source site’s character set [utf8], so the installer is going to use default character [latin1].”

    Hi @patrikhax this is just a notice that on the source site where the backup was created the database has the character set utf8 which is not supported on the destination server so the default latin1 will be used instead. So, this is not an error, but a notice about what will happen during installation. In most cases, replacing the not supported character set with the default one results in a successful installation.
