Strange characters after uprading to 3.2.1.4 from 2.4.8.5

[juanito]

hello @koumoutsos , can you test this?

Utf8 collation on upgrading ojs 2.4.8 to 3.1.1.2

If your database name is, for example: OJS mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE newojs CHARACTER SET utf8; quit mysqldump -u root -p --opt --quote-names --skip-set-charset --default-character-set=latin1 OJS > dumplatin1.sql mysql -u root -p --default-character-set=utf8 newojs < dumplatin1.sql And you can to edit ‘config.inc.php’ Database settings database name = newojs This is for testing. You should create an user for your new db.

Please, do backup.
