I upgraded PHP on my Fedora Linux server to 4.3.10 due to the recent
security issue and phpMyAdmin stopped working. I realized after lots of
debugging that I'd previously custom-compiled PHP to match my custom
upgrade of MySQL to 4.1.7 from Fedora's development branch. When I let
yum install the pre-built PHP update binary, it had the old MySQL
libraries so it couldn't talk to the newer MySQL with the different
character set support.
I finally figured it out when I tried to connect to the DB from another
host running a v3 MySQL and got this error:
mysql: File '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)
mysql: Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set and is not
specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index' file
