wamp server mysql database don't accept Chinese characters - mysql

My Joomla3.0 works fine with Chinese characters on my wamp2.2 server until I installed extension Community builder, every Chinese Characters I input in this extension turned out to be question marks. Upon inspecting databases, I found out that tables created by Community Builder weren't using utf-8 charset, so I alter charsets of those tables to utf8_general_ci, as seen below.
And according to some other posts in stackoverflow.com, I even modified my.ini file so it looks like
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
default-character-set=utf8
# Here follows entries for some specific programs
# The MySQL server
[wampmysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 64
sort_buffer_size = 512K

read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M

# but will not function as a master if omitted

[isamchk]
key_buffer = 20M
sort_buffer_size = 20M
read_buffer = 2M
write_buffer = 2M
[myisamchk]
key_buffer = 20M
sort_buffer_size = 20M
read_buffer = 2M
write_buffer = 2M
[mysqlhotcopy]
interactive-timeout
[mysqld]
port=3306
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server = utf8
However, Chinese characters are still being converted to question marks, and when I tried to directly set the values of those tables to Chinese characters in phpmyadmin, it returned an error message saying "#1366 Incorrect string value". Now with very limited knowledge of mysql database, I am stranded.
Any help is greatly appreicated!

Sleeping queries and slowness of MYSQL

I have a software application built with Electron, there is an Ajax call every seconds.
Everything seems to work however the server gets smashed and we are experiencing massive overload, slowness. The sites would be fast, then slow, and suddently fast again or sometimes keeps spinning. We have 8 users using the application which result to 80 queries per seconds.
Here my cnf file

I'm notb sure and have no clue of what i can do to avoid this, i spoke to the hosting and they say that there is some sleeping queries sometimes, not much help there.
Things to do in order:
Check the process list using SHOW PROCESSLIST, see what's slow, maybe it's something obvious. If it's slow you'll see the query.
Check the slow query log.
Use a tool like Percona Toolkit or JetProfiler to zoom in on any problem not obvious from 1 or 2.

MySQL The table is full on query

I can't find the source of the issue on our Master/Slave replication .
Today i was updating the Master and suddenly got the following error from the slave
Error 'The table 'caching_api' is full' on query.
Query: '
ALTER TABLE `caching_api`
ADD UNIQUE INDEX `id` (`id`) USING BTREE ,
ADD INDEX `search` (`component`, `method`) USING BTREE
It's not a disk issue , the Slave is an exact replicate of the Master

Update to questions from comments :
When i try to run the query directly on the SLAVE :
caching_api table status
Slave Disk Info
ibdata1 about 36GB
ulimit -a
The manual doesn't rule out the possibility of a full disk.
If a table-full error occurs, it may be that the disk is full or that
the table has reached its maximum size. The effective maximum table
size for MySQL databases is usually determined by operating system
constraints on file sizes, not by MySQL internal limits.
But since have checked that already before posting this question. So the only other possiblility is that maximum table size has been reached.

I am very familiar with Vbulletin database schema and tables. I have converted dozens of VB sites to Innodb storage engine.
The reason that you are getting that error is because the session table is a Memory table. The session table(s) must have been quite full when you took this backup that you are trying to restore. That, coupled with your overhead IO during the import, is filling up your RAM. However, for VB to work properly, you do not actually need this table to be a Memory table.
In order to get around this you can convert your session table to InnoDB.
I would open the .sql file up in a text editor (if possible) and change where it says ENGINE = MEMORY for your session table to InnoDB, or use string replace:
sed -i 's/MEMORY/INNODB/g' yourfilename.sql

How to resolve error "#2006 - MySQL server has gone away"

I have MySQL Community Server 5.6.16 running, I have a mysql dump file of size 290MB,
and I have the following my.ini settings
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 60000000
max_allowed_packet = 8000000000M
When i try to restore the database from the dump file, I get error below
#2006 - MySQL server has gone away

my.ini file download link
Change as per below:
max_allowed_packet = 64M
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1536M
Also add below lines same as given at the end of your ini file.
[mysqldump]
quick ##it is already there in your file.
max_allowed_packet = 80000M # change it to 64M as this is more than your total memory.
After these changes restart mysql and check now.
If still getting error then share todays error logs from your error log file.

enabling mysql query log causes error

I don't know if this problem is specific to my set up but when I add the line
log = /var/log/mysql.log
to the mysqld section of a copied my-large.cnf file and try to restart the mysql server I get the error
Starting MySQL. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/centos-server.pid).
I've created the file /var/log/mysql.log, set its owner and group to mysql and set the permissions on /var/log to 777 (for the moment)
I'm on centos, with mysql 5.6.5 m8 (the development release).
This is a snippet of the my.cnf file
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-external-locking
key_buffer_size = 256M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_open_cache = 256
sort_buffer_size = 1M
read_buffer_size = 1M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
thread_cache_size = 8
query_cache_size= 16M
# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency
thread_concurrency = 8
log = /var/log/mysql.log
Seems like the log directive is outdated and my.cnf requires the directive
general-log = 1
If specified like this the log file will be created in a default location (which on centos is /var/lib/mysql/centos-server.log)
