New Database:
There is no possibility to get a new Database by SuiteCRM.
My provider (Strato) requires first a request for a new database.In the second step an installation program (e.g. suiteCRM/install.php) can use this new database.
As an exception Strato provides an AppWizzard for installation of some popular programs like Joomla or SugarCRM (the old Open Source version)
Unfortunately SuiteCRM is not (yet;) part of it.
Trial with emptySugarCRM Database:
As remarked in a former post of this thread, a SugarCRM installation, generated by Strato’s AppWizzard, does not have the problem with characterset. Therfore I tried to use a SugarCRM database as a basis for a SuiteCRM installation, hoping to get a database with correct parameters:
- Generation of a SugarCRM-installation with Strato’s AppWizzard (checked: correct characters)
- Erasure of all tables of the new SugarCRM database
- Installation of SuiteCRM using this empty database
Result, however: same problem with wrong characters in all fields
Another idea?
Phpmyadmin indicates all character sets/-collation as “UTF8” except of the parameter “character_set_server” = “latin1”.
Unfortunately I cannot change this parameter, because I’m not the super user of MySql.
Question: Is it possible that this parameter causes the character problem?
