Hi, I think the issue you were having is not related to any server settings, but rather to the way your files have been saved. If you save your files as UTF-8 you do not have to touch any settings server side.
There is however a gotcha and that is related to how applications detect the encoding of a file. Bluedragon appears to look for a special character at the beginning of file to determine if it is encoded as UTF-8, this Byte Order Mark is sometimes called BOM Flag. It is invisible in most text editor but you will see it with a hex editor. Dreamweaver users can set the BOM flag explicitly as part of the page options. Unfortunately eclipse has problems with this flag. Sometimes eclipse does not create this flag and othertimes during editing the character sequence is moved within the file thus breaking the encoding and then the question marks appear. I have some coldfusion code which traverses a folder and fixes the BOM characters in all cfm and cfc templates. If there is interest I can share the code. I think moving away from utf-8 is a BIG step backwards. Sticking with UTF-8 is the way to go. just my .02 worth - YMMV --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
