utf8mb4 Encoding error with phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL database
character-encoding
Solution
Edit the following files:
<install path>/libraries/DatabaseInterface.class.php
<install path>/libraries/mysql_charsets.lib.php
And change all instances of 'utf8mb4' to 'utf8'.
It seems to have worked for me.
Problem
I am trying to use phpMyAdmin to access a remote MySQL database so I created a config.inc.php file (copying config.sample.inc.php) and added a server. Now this other server appear as an option in the login page but when connecting I receive this error: MySQL said #1115 - Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'. Is there a workaround? Is there a configuration I can set? Any help highly appreciated.
