Somebody linked our site with a smiley in the url. The url looks like this: myurl/nummer-333😊🤓/ This results in a 500 error.
Because this page does not exist I expected a 404 error. The 500 error shows: (1267, "Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='") Because latin1 doesn't support smileys I converted my database and tables to utf8mb4_unicode_ci (I saw several site advising against using utf8_unicode_ci with mysql) Then I got this error: (1267, "Illegal mix of collations (utf8mb4_unicode_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='") So the database conversion worked (no other encoding problems with the site) but still the error. I changed my my.cnf to: [mysqld] local-infile=0 innodb_file_per_table bind-address=127.0.0.1 character_set_server=utf8mb4 collation_server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci [client] socket=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock default-character-set = utf8mb4 [mysql] default-character-set = utf8mb4 But still the same error. Anybody an idea?
