Hello everyone,

I have installed otrs 2.0.4 on a CENTOS 4.2 using mysql 4.1.12
Mysql was installed from the distribution rpms.

I have followed the directions in the otrs faq regarding the use of utf
in 
http://faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&ID=52 where it is
mentioned to:

- make changes in Kernel/Config.pm
$Self->{DefaultCharset} = 'utf-8';

- make changes in /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
default-character-set = utf8

I then created the mysql database following the instruction in the
README.database document.

So far, so good. I can display and search greek text in tickets from the
web interface without problems.

This is my problem:

I *cannot see* the greek chars that are stored in the database from the
mysql command line.
When I do something like "select from article" I get
hieroglyphics/unreadable and since they are not stored in greek 
it is impossible to do sql queries.

I know that utf works in mysql because:

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "character_set_%";
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8                       |
| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |

I apologize for the long message. 

Any ideas on where to look next ?

Thank you,

Stelios
