A Stange Problem about Alfresco

joel18 — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 08:36:25 GMT

Hi Everyone, I have installed Alfresco successfully. However, after I have installed Alfresco and started it, any chinese or japanese words on the Alfresco Web Page is unavailable. For example, the space name "ä¸»é¡µ" becomes "??". What is wrong with Alfresco? Could anyone tell me how to solve it

Hi Joel,

did you check the database encoding? Most likely it should be UTF-8.

Pim.

Yes. I have checked. The default encoding is UTF8.

Hi Joel18,

Which DB are you using, and can you post the relevant sections of your DB config that enable UTF-8 (if you can find them).
With a correct setup you should be seeing the chars you are expecting.

Hi Steve,

I have solved the problem by adding â€œdb.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8â€ in custom-repository.properties. Thank you very much.

Best Regards.
