vBulletin forum cpanel migration to virtualmin = charset issues, anyone seen this?

Hi,

The full details can be found here: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/390832-cpanel-move-to-new...

Screenshots included. Was wondering if you Virtualmin gurus have seen this before. At this point it is hard to tell where the issue lies (it's a bit over my head). Nothing has changed in vBulletin config but as you can see phpmyadmin on the new server shows a little differently.

I am hoping it is a simple Virtualmin config that I can alter, but not sure how screwed up things are.

Thanks

Charset sounds like a MySQL issue, to be honest.

Looking at your screenshot seems to confirm it. (http://i.imgur.com/5RSnq.png)

Your old server used MyISAM with latin1_swedish_ci while your new server is using InnoDB with utf8_general_ci.

Hopefully someone will come around with instructions on how to fix that.

Thanks, I hope someone who has seen this can chime in. I did find a vBulletin coder who seems to specialize in fixing this issue but he is slow to respond and in the mean time my site has a lot of garble on it.

got it fixed, in the end all i had to do was change my vbulletin language packs to " UTF-8 " for the character set.
