Hello,
my host provider has upgraded from mysql 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge5-log to mysql 5.0.32-Debian_7etch1-log Since this upgrade, all my pages containing greek, cyrillic and some latin extended chars are broken, MediaWiki display blank content. When I edit, I see what horror happened :
if you look at http://tousauxbalkans.jexiste.fr/index.php5?title=Accueil&action=edit you'll see some �? instead of such chars (here a č uppercase) * [[:Catégorie:�?oček|�?oček]]
I tried importing a dump made by mysql4, it doesn't work better.
I tried another host, which has mysql 5.0.27, it's the same horror.
What happened ? I already had problems with such chars in page_title which is not a blob, but here it's in the content of a page, stored as a BLOB !
I'll ask my host to give me back a mysql4 database, and see if it'll be better...
Hello,
Now I tried another host, with mysql5 -> same problem with mysql4, the same problem too !!!
What a nightmare ! How can I restore my database dumped by the previous host, when it was mysql4, with the right characters?
I'm using MW 1.10 where is the blob which store the content of the pages ?
Please help ! Sylvain

Sylvain, I'm so sorry .. can't help you... just to say to you that I can imagine how you feel with this!!! I really don't want to change....hoping, that you'll find a solution! I just can offer you a possibility to try it on a subdomain on my server... also mysql 5... Verena
