[rt-users] 3.8.1 corrupting attachments

[jmoseley at corp.xanadoo.com]

Perhaps the script itself is poorly named, but the instructions state that
the 4.0 mysql upgrade script must be run if you are upgrading as it changes
the DB schema.

It's not a script only for those running 4.x.x versions of mysql, it's for
everyone that's upgrading.

Oh, then I don’t have a good answer for you.  Sorry L  Maybe the list can
provide some insight.

I’m running MySQL 5.0.18, with the default latin1 character set—as I was
with 3.6.x.

      Aaron,
      This happened to me when I didn’t do the 4.0 to 4.1 MySQL update.

      Is anyone else seeing problems with corrupted attachments in 3.8.x?
      From what I can tell, 8-bit characters are getting stripped or
      altered in mime attachments, corrupting the data.

      Attached are two PDFs, the original PDF (original.pdf) and the
      post-RT PDF (post-rt.pdf).  The latter appears to be blank after RT
      receives it.  I’m also seeing corruption of MS Office documents, so
      this may extend to all binary attachments.

      I’m happy to submit a bug report if others are experiencing this as
      well.

      Cheers,

      Aaron Hathaway_______________________________________________
