    • german umlaut problem when upgrading from 1.18. to 1.18.5.

    Posted by bodo.t posts: 4

    version 1.8 und 1.8.5. is not compatible in terms of german umlauts.
    pages created or edited with one of the 2 version above , dont show correct umlaut encoding in the other version.
    anyone knows how to solve this when upgrading ?

    Make sure that your webserver is configured via the php.ini file to send content in UTF-8 format.

    Also on Admin->System Admin there are database conversion routines. but a backup of the database beforehand is HIGHLY recommended.

    it is, i have both versions running and both use same php.ini and the html header does specify utf-8

    unfortunately, in my system admin page on the 1.8.5 there is no database conversion routine, i can only see 2 items: "Exterminator" and "Templates compiler"! so how can i find the database conversion ?

    Must be a 1.9 thing then.

    Check that the PHP is sending as UTf-8
