So, my website, involving lots of database calls, works perfectly fine, even after a reboot.
However, attempting to connect directly via dbshell results in this error: $ ./manage.py dbshell mysql: unknown variable 'character-set-server=utf8' Attempting to figure out my version of mysql also gave the same error. $ mysql --version mysql: unknown variable 'character-set-server=utf8' Google searches all give results about people trying to configure mysql for the first time, so it doesn't seem to apply to me, and the database is clearly working fine when Django is the one connecting to it. I haven't had a need to connect to dbshell for a long time (thanks, South!), so I have no idea when this change occurred. But my website is working fine. It would be nice to figure out why this is happening, in case I do have to connect to dbshell at some point in the future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
