Re: [Rails] Re: Encoding Issues Seeds.rb

Hi,     Try to reconvert the file with "iconv -f UTF-8" and add "# encoding: utf-8" to the first line....     In case isn't working I will suggest to review the encoding of the database and maybe to force it with "encoding: UTF8"     Regards,    El 12/03/2012 12:25, Maxus escribió:   Hi Juan,   I have tried that, still recieve the same error.
