What was the problem, and which tool did you use? The Convert_mysql from montuy337513?

Try with module backup, i converted all db in utf-8.
The module can't modify or broken system database, you can create one copy in other database. If all is correct, set the copy database as the system and modofy old system db.

Hi Roby, im still struggling with this problem, i have to convert to utf-8 because im upgrading from 5.3 php to 5.4 and that this gives problems with some (Turkish) characters

Can you give me a step by step guide to accomplish this ?

Thanks

One method:
1) Export out of phpMyAdmin the whole database in your default latin1_swedish

2) open the document in something like Notepad++

3) convert the document inside Notepad++ as UTF-8 and save it

4) import into phpMyAdmin

Make sure you do a backup, and then test it before you go live with it.
