I am getting an error when I try to restore to a new server.

Database server error reply:
ErrNo #1273 Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
SQL=CREATE TABLE `kofc_admintools_acl` ( `user_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `permissions` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci, PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Raw query text:
CREATE TABLE `#__admintools_acl` ( `user_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `permissions` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci, PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Need to know what I need to do to fix it.
Thanks!


Description of my issue:

It looks like this is a restore on a different server and this server does not have mb4 support. The mb4 support is required for both Akeeba and Joomla!.

Not sure what that means. What do I need to do to rectify that?

I was a little off in my thoughts on how to fix this. I talked to Nicholas this morning and he provided me with some direction.

Please check the Force UTF-8 collation on database and Force UTF-8 collation on tables options in ANGIE and uncheck the Allow UTF8MB4 auto-detection option.

Sorry, it took me a few days to get back to this, but that did do it!
Thanks for the help!

You're welcome!
