yielded no solution.

This looks like you have mysql configured to default to latin1 tables,
but haven’t compiled in latin1. Is it possible that you have a my.cnf
from one version of mysql and have built your own newer version of
mysql without including latin1?
The sessions table doesn’t specify an encoding, so it uses the
default which appears to be set to latin1 for you.

Hello Kevin,
When installing MyQL using FreeBSD ports, usually there is not much in the
way for the installer to customize, bar for doing a “make config”. In my
case, there is nothing in the options available to disable any encoding.
And yes, I was using my.conf which was from MySQL 5.5.7. I only upgraded
that to 5.5.8 and things broke! rt-3.9.7 was not complaining about this
latin1 encoding when I initialized the db. All I had to change was
s/TYPE=Innodb/ENGINE=Innodb/g in schema.mysql for MySQL-5.5 to agree to
initialize-database.
So this breakage seems to be in MySQL 5.5.8 itself, or the way the port
maintainer configured it.On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 7:01 PM, Kevin Falcone falcone@bestpractical.comwrote:

Interesting. We’ve already changed TYPE to ENGINE for 4.0.0rc2, and
I’ll be tacking on an explicit charset of ascii for sessions (as well
as flagging that table as innodb).
