OJS 3.3.0.5
Server Information
| Setting Name | Setting Value |
|---|---|
| OS platform | Linux |
| PHP version | 7.4.15 |
| Apache version | Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) |
| Database driver | mysql |
| Database server version | 5.5.60-MariaDB |
UPDATED by setting
; Client output/input character set
client_charset = utf-8
; Database connection character set
connection_charset = utf8
BUT earlier version (OJS 3.2.1.4) setting was
connection_charset = off
; Database storage character set
; Must be set to “Off” if not supported by the database server
database_charset = off
Using that setting unable to upgrade. Managed to update by setting to
; Client output/input character set
client_charset = utf-8
; Database connection character set
connection_charset = utf8
BUT there are so many unknown characters in the title and the meta data e.g. [CONSUMERS’] instead of CONSUMER’S.
When set to connection_charset = off as before in the configuration file then got HTTP ERROR 500 .
Many journals with OFF having this problem and specially Arabic journals.
I hope that some on give some solution. If I manage to turn off database_charset then it may solved but I can’t turned off due to HTTP ERROR 500
Thanks.
