Hi, Jérémy, MySQL 5.1 defaults to Latin-1 and the config files in Squeeze don't apparently override it. So, yes, MySQL is not UTF-8 in Squeeze.
So as a minimum, the install script should make sure that the default character set of the redmine database is UTF-8. And, to me at least, this sounds much like an RC bug. In addition, it might also make sense to set the collation sequence of the redmine database/tables to match the language redmine is using. Of course, this could become quite tricky when reconfiguring redmine changing the language... But as the default collation sequence appears to be more or less decent, this would surely not be RC. --jtg > -----Original Message----- > From: Jérémy Lal [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 13:11 > To: "J.Tóth Gábor"; [email protected] > Subject: Re: Bug#597652: redmine: In some contexts accented > characters don't display correctly > > On 22/09/2010 12:56, J.Tóth Gábor wrote: > > Hi Jérémy, > > > > I have now confirmed that the problem is related to the > > database encoding.
