Title: Greek characters display
Post by: rossoneri711 on October 22, 2012, 11:15:55 AM
I recently moved to a new server, and i am trying to transfer all my coopermine installations to the new server.

My versions on the old server are 1.4.25 and are working fine.

I followed the procedure in the move/upgrade, either by keeping the old version or upgrading to 1.5.20.

It seems that the procedure worked, except language problems.

The database that i exported from my old server, is in utf-8 and displays the greek characters corretly in the tables.
When i import that database though to the new server, the greek characters are displayed in the database tables ok, though in the frontend of the website i get "?????????????????????" instead of greek. If i try to rename an album in greek, it displays the newly greek name correctly on the frontend, though it is entered as "σσσδδσσδσ" in the database.

I just cant seem to pinpoint the problem in order to solve it, and i need your help. Thank you in advance.

Try to add
$CONFIG['dbcharset'] = "utf8";
to include/config.inc.php (see also http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,49620.0.html)
