Hi Daniel,
My name is Lan. I’m Vice Director of D&L Technology (www.dlcorp.com.vn / www.koha.vn) We are service provider for Koha in Vietnam ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Support_Companies) To answer your question, it seems that you forgot to configure encoding during the installation. To make koha use UTF-8 as default encoding, you need setup following parameter: *1. *Setup Mysql to use UTF-8: by modifying file: */etc/mysql/my.cnf * *init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' * * character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci* 2. Update local language to UTF-8 by running command: *update-locale LANG=en_IN.UTF-8* Please note that you need to perform these tasks before creating database in Mysql. Hope that help, Duy Lan 2014-08-21 14:47 GMT+07:00 Daniel Owens <[email protected]>: > Okay, good to know.
