7.1.4 fresh install, sys_profile_fields

I just went to the database of a fresh install of 7.1.4 and examined the sys_profile_fields table and found the following.  What is the issue here?  When I go to admin and builders and look at the join form section everything looks normal.  The collation on Name is utf8_bin.  phpMyAdmin is Version information: 4.0.5, latest stable version: 4.0.6.

It's a phpMyAdmin configuration issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2721302/phpmyadmin-shows-numbers-or-blob-for-mysqls-utf8-bin-callation-columns

It may be that you don't have the mysqli extension installed so phpMyAdmin may have defaulted to using normal mysql which does not handle blob as well. That is also mentioned in that document.

I have the mysqli extension on my server but i have not checked my phpMyAdmin config files to see if that was the case. So that's only a guess.

Thanks Dean, I thought as much.  I really don't like the new phpMyAdmin; I may just yank it and go with an earlier version.  The question would be what does the new version provide that is good to have.

I will check that.  This is a new server setup from almost nothing.

Don't know. I am still running version 3.5.8.1

Unless i have a need to upgrade something, i usually don't. I don't like messing with my server once i have it setup.

yes, it was a new install so I installed the latest version.

It was a config issue,

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';

was set to mysql instead.  Now it is as it should be.
