Getting Mingle Installed
As part of playing with my Windows Home Server this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to test out the Mingle agile management tool.
There was only one problem that I encountered while installing Mingle. The install would complete successfully, but when it launched the web page to start configuring your projects and such, it would always give me an error on the page. After searching a little bit on Google, I found that the problem seems to lay with the configuration of MySQL.
In the MySQL my.ini file, I needed to add the lines under the [mysql] section:
character_set_server= utf8
collaction_server= utf8_general_ci
After making that change, I uninstalled and reinstalled Mingle and everything worked perfectly.
