I had the same problem (content of the ticket empty), for me wasn't a charset problem.

I've restored a previuosly backed up otrs db and restarted with step 1 of migration. After that data was correct either if 4/5 tables resulted to be latin. After a period of time overwathing the system just to be sure that it was all ok, I've used phpmyadmin to assign utf_general_ci to the tables that weren't so without problems (obviusoly there should be mysql manual command to do that but I'm a lazy boy ;) )

Hi there,
I have a little problem. I´m running OTRS 2.3.4 without ITSM and want to upgrade it to the new 2.4.3 with ITSM. Just in case that there are some problems, I´ve set up a test enviroment. The Upgrade worked fine for me, following the instruktion in the Upgrade file. But the tickets are not shown Properly in the ticket system. I just get to see the ticket number but the content is gone. When I look in the Admin Support Assessment I get the error message that the charset is latin1 instead of utf8. Now I would like to know if there is a possibility to convert the DB to utf8 without loosing all the tickets in the system.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards
