Installation gives ERROR: Incorrect string value

Post by jrrsdu »

Hi,

I'm trying to install a new CMSMS 2.2.8 site on an Ubuntu 18.04 webserver running PHP 7.2 and MySQL 5.7.23.

When I get to the last page in the installation wizard, I get this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Incorrect string value: '\xBB page...' for column 'word' at row 1
It comes after the installation of the module Search and before the message "Clear cache" should have been displayed.

The site seems to be working, but if I go to the admin pages, the status of the module Search is "Not installed" and if I click Install I get the same error again.

The database was created with this command:

Code: Select all

CREATE DATABASE <dbname> CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
All the tables have the collation utf8_general_ci which is working fine on an older webserver.

Can anybody help me with my installation issue?

Regards,
Jørgen Rasmussen

Perhaps you can consider installing without the sample content?

I expect the » character somewhere in the sample content is giving this error. That said, install works find for me.
