Re: Setting character-set-results or character-set-connection prevents mysqld from loading

Ok, this is an auto-reply :(

It seems that the character-set-results and character-set-connection can't be set in the [mysqld] part of the config file. You have to put them in the [client] part.

This is what I did in the end:

[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
default-collation=utf8_general_ci
character-set-client=utf8

[client]
character-set-results=utf8
character-set-connection=utf8

It works fine (well, at least the mysql server does reload without a glitch).
