Wrong character encoding – Latin-1, UTF-8 data in MySQL

jz — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 03:17:17 +0000

This article saved me quite some headache – also this is the cleanest solution of all. For several other workarounds, see Stackoverflow here.

The solution that works was:

mysqldump -h (your ip) -u (your username) -p  --opt --quote-names \
--skip-set-charset --default-character-set=latin1 (your db name) > (your db name)-dump.sql

mysql -h (your ip) -u (your username) -p \
--default-character-set=utf8 (your db name) < (your db name)-dump.sql

delete the brackets, dont fill in the brackets (your ip) = 127.0.0.1 for instance

Got Rainbow Feather javascript error?

first of all, get rid of the following two things in the header.php:



window.onload = function() {
new SmoothScroll({duration:2000});
}

because if you use lightbox (with prototype it does not play along that well.)
if you want to use lightbox with moo,
you should use slimbox

the file (feather.zip) comes with different headers:
one for slimbox and moo.tools (smallest) default install
one for lightbox (no moo.tools) bigger

also, see the manual.

The file "WoW.exe" could not be found.

First of all, I am no WoW Geek, but this problem fix might be helpful to some people

Error: The file “WoW.exe” could not be found. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.

Fix: press windows key + r (you will get the “run dialog”), enter “regedit”, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft

Got a value called “install path” there? if so, you can fix the annoying error in 5 seconds.
Change the path there to the folder (including drive pre-fix) where you WoW Install is.

Re-run the patch. You are all done.

Here is an exemplary entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft]
“GamePath”=”N:\\World of Warcraft\\Launcher.exe”
“InstallPath”=”O:\\World of Warcraft\\”
“UninstallPath”=”C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Blizzard Entertainment\\World of Warcraft\\Uninstall.exe”
