Sep 6, 2017 at 2:42 comment added giolliano sulit It looks like you installed a new Wordpress install over your old database. You probably didn't copy of the wp-config.php from your old server which is why you got this settings page..

Aug 29, 2017 at 12:06 comment added Tom J Nowell you don't want to downgrade, it was a guess that you'd moved to an older version that didn't support the collation you needed to use, have you verified the SQL is correctly formatted and not mangled? You will need to remove the existing tables before running it again or it'll skip over them
Aug 29, 2017 at 9:26 comment added Nitescu Lucian @TomJNowell No I did not downgraded mysql to an older version on the new serve. Any Idea how to do it?

Aug 29, 2017 at 2:05 comment added Tom J Nowell Have you downgraded mysql to an older version on the new server? Note that you can't just open the sql file in a text editor and change the URL via search replace, it'll mangle any serialised PHP present generating problems. You have to use a dedicated search replace tool such as WP CLI to do the change

Running generic WordPress database fix.
Aug 28, 2017 at 23:42 comment added Nitescu Lucian WordPress database error: [Table 'liwys_users' already exists]. The only two errors. @TomJNowell
Aug 28, 2017 at 23:39 comment added Nitescu Lucian Yes, yes, yes its written: WordPress database error: [Unknown collation '#224' in table 'liwys_options' definition]
Aug 28, 2017 at 23:33 comment added Tom J Nowell did you do a search replace on the SQL file to change URLs? And did you change the wp-config.php to use the new database credentials? Also, can you show us the database errors in that screenshot? All the useful parts are cropped out
