Hi @cridum,

There are two potential causes for this: Either…

  • your config.inc.php character set configuration changed, or
  • your database character set configuration changed.

The easy one to confirm is your config.inc.php. Does its character set configuration match your old installation exactly?

Hello

Thaks for you reply, the problem was in the default values for Mariadb chartset (latin-1) in /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf, after change to utf8 all goes ok.

Merci beaucoup.
