After upgrading from otrs 2.2.4 to 2.3.2 I am having a problem with running the final step of the upgrade, which is to run Admin -> SysConfig. When attempting to do this I get the following errors in the apache.err log: [Wed Oct 08 11:26:59 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] , referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminSelectBox [Wed Oct 08 12:05:04 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] [Wed Oct 8 12:05:04 2008] index.pl: utf8 "\\xFC" does not map to Unicode at ../..//Kernel/System/Config.pm line 161, <$In> chunk 1., referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl [Wed Oct 08 12:05:04 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] [Wed Oct 8 12:05:04 2008] index.pl: utf8 "\\xE4" does not map to Unicode at ../..//Kernel/System/Config.pm line 161, <$In> chunk 1., referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl [Wed Oct 08 12:05:04 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] [Wed Oct 8 12:05:04 2008] index.pl: Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x72, immediately after start byte 0xfc) in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Data/Dumper.pm line 179., referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl [Wed Oct 08 12:05:04 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x097909c8 ***, referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl [Wed Oct 08 12:05:04 2008] [error] [client 10.200.100.109] Premature end of script headers: index.pl, referer: http://otrs.mgmt.rga.com/otrs/index.pl The mysql settings reported from otrs show; (SHOW SESSION VARIABLES LIKE '%char%') character_set_cl[..] utf8 character_set_co[..] utf8 character_set_da[..] utf8 character_set_fi[..] binary character_set_re[..] utf8 character_set_se[..] (server) latin1 character_set_sy[..] utf8 character_sets_d[..] /usr/share/mysql[..] I tried looking up the issue online but only found people reporting similar errors but no resolutions.
