The database containing XWiki need to use utf8_bin MySQL encoding, you don't need to change MySQL server default encoding. But it's not just a configuration, you have to convert the existing tables, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL and more specifically http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL#HTips. > > Thanking you in advance, > > Regards, > Mike Migale > > > Mike Migale > > Solero > Royal Road, Moka 80829 > T: +230 650 8880 > E: [email protected] > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
