Upgrading from 2.1.4 to 2.2.6 seems to have broken char encoding

Before: mysql database (in latin1) shows: Réponse Automatisée OTRS webpage shows: Réponse Automatisée After Upgrade: mysql database (in latin1) shows: Réponse Automatisée OTRS webpage shows: Réponse Automatisée Any thoughts? I noticed en.pm was not updated but I tried en.pm.rpmnew as well. Thanks.

I'd love to hear any feedback on this issue if anyone has any, given that I've experienced the same issue. I'm currently still running 2.1.4 and not updating as this bug makes it impossible for us to the OTRS for all of our non-English support. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mustaqil,

Thanks in advance.

Did you check the Charset default in Kernel/Config.pm to verify it is using the correct Charset for writing to your DBMS, after the upgrade? Alternatively it could be configured in your Sysconfig.

Hi Shawn, Well, I've checked the Config.pm on a development machine I have, and it's using UTF-8 for DBMS writes. As for the live system, having had checked the Config.pm on there, there is no line specifying a character encoding which strikes me as somewhat weird. However, this live system works fine with English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Korean and other such languages. Having had then updated the 2.1.4 Config.pm to explicitly use utf-8 no problems were encountered from viewing the ticket under 2.1.4. The problems persisted on 2.2.6 though. (2.2.6 has read access to the live system DB, but can't write to it). If 2.2.6 won't be able to read any standard answers, old tickets or any other information (this includes usernames) from our usage via 2.1.4, this proves problematic. - Muz

I have the same problem like you. I have try a upgrade from 2.1.8 to 2.2.6 on a backup machine.
I think , i have found the problem in the mysql database in v 2.1.8, we have in the a_content_type: text/plain, charset=iso-8859-15 in the mysql database in v 2.2.6, we have in the a_content_type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 How can convert the old databse in the new type ? Serge

I have the same problem like you. I have try a upgrade from 2.1.8 to 2.2.6 on a backup machine.
I found the solution: I have the problem with a dump of the mysql database when it's done with phpMyadmin. I have no problem when the dump is done with mysqldump Serge
