RHEL6下MySQL字符集修改为utf8

网站看了很多人转来转去的mysql的字符集修改为utf8的文章，也不知道同胞们有没有自己亲手试验过，反正我根据那些文章配置后就是启动不了。

这里我把我的贴出来。

# vi /etc/my.cf

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8    ----------尤其注意，这句话写在mysqld中会报ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.pid)之类的错误。

[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'

# mysql -u root -p

mysql> show variables like 'character%';
