Fatal Error after Update MariaDB

Question

Hey there,

after i update MariaDB from 10.5 to 10.6 i've got a fatal error message when i try to start confluence.

Detected tables with non-default character encoding. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/TABrFw

I already did the stuff atlassian tell me to do (How to Fix the Collation and Character Set of a MySQL Database manually) but it doesnt work. I've changed

character-set-server=utf8mb4
collation-server=utf8mb4_bin

in my.cnf too.

Did you just got any idea how to handle?

As mentioned before, the fact that MariaDB is not supported really limits your options.

You've tried everything that might reasonably be assumed to fix it, so the next place to look is the software that is using it (meaning your Confluence).  As that states it does not support the use of MariaDB, you're not going to get any help with it, and I think the only thing you can do is migrate to a supported database.  If the error still occurs when you're on a supported database, you can then get support from Atlassian!
