Make sure the server really is picking up the option value:

Look for 'character_set_server'.
If it's utf8, then perhaps your GUI tools are overriding the
setting? Dunno. You might try creating a database through the
GUI and then looking at the server query log to see what query
is actually being sent to it.
Using WinMySQLadmin 1.4 which came bundled with it I viewed the
variables and it
seems that it's not picking it up. The variable you mention is
still set to latin1. Adding that line you mentioned didn't change
anything. Is there a different format for the ini file on *Nix vs
Windows?
No. But you're asking me to guess what you did. What file did you
add the lines to, and what lines did you add? Did you restart the
server?
The file was my ini file. my.ini which is located in the windows directory.
I copy and pasted the line you gave here and put it under the [mysqld] section
in that ini file.
Yes I restarted the server.
Hmm. That should have done it. There weren't any messages in the error
log about the server not liking the option or anything?
