Re: german umlaut problem when upgrading from 1.18. to 1.18.5. Posted by Damian Parker 21 Apr 2005 18:19 UTC 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. Damian http://tikihost.net
