I have install the appliance distro and ran into some problems restoring the “live” database.  It appears that the “live” database is in SQL_ASCII encoding and the appliance distro is encoded to UTF8.  And ideas on how I can convert the live database.   Then upgrade it to the appliance version level?

Hi there List members,

Quick question I hope.  I currently have an installation of OTRS 3.03 running on OSX leopard that we have been using for years.  Are there any special consideration and methods to consider if I would like to migrate to the OTRS appliance installation.  Would there be any suggestions on how I can upgrade and import the currently in place database to the appliance deployment?
