I can't manage to import my MySQL dumps from my localhost to my server, because my server MySQL version doesn't support the new collation feature of MySQL.
I have the same problem.
You should make your local dumps with "mysqldump.exe" and not with phpMyAdmin.
I tried this but same problem...
I could install WAMPP version 2.1 or 1.1 which use the older version of MySQL but I also would rather not use the older versions of PHP...
I am very new to this and not confident about installing and configuring Apache, PHP and MySQL separately...
Does anyone know another solution? (eg how to 'downgrade' MySQL?)
