Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'

Question

im trying to upload my first wordpress website. Im using the local wordpress.org php my admin and the php my admin from 000webhost. Ive researched this aa lot here and changed all the settings people were saying from utf8mb4 to utf8 but it only caused more errors. I changed everything back to what it was (at least i think so and the error is the same as the beginning now). Anyone knows how i can get around this and import my db to 000.webhost with no errors? the Error is SQL query:

/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */;

and

MySQL said: Documentation

1115 - Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'

Answer 1

1) The first: If you can control ssh server. Please update mysql version. Your mysql too old. Maybe < 5.5.3 .

2) The second: If you can't access ssh. Try to export your database with Mysql version 4.0 .

• With command line mysqldump --compatible=mysql40 -u user -p DB > dumpfile.sql

• With web access phpmyadmin -> Select Database -> Export -> Custom - display all possible options -> Format-specific options ->

  Database system or older MySQL server to maximize output compatibility with: Select MYSQL40 .

• Change content file .sql you exported

/*!50003 SET character_set_client = utf8mb4 */ ;

to utf8 only.

And replace by Ctrl H in Sublime change all from utf8mb4 => utf8

Hope this helps.
