"ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ClonesController#create" when attempting to clone website

I run into this when trying to clone any website, I have attached a screenshot of the output.

Is there a solution for this problem? I also get the same error when cloning websites.

No solution at this time

Same exact issue for me as well.

here is how to fix this user

connect to MySQL

mysql -u root -p

#<< change root to whatever your MySQL username is

change encoding for table clones

ALTER TABLE pf_dev.clones CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;

Would love to hear if this solves the issues for others, if so I can include it as part of the installation process.

Absolutely - worked a treat for me. Issue resolved.

We will be removing the website cloning func from future releases.
