Showstopping problems with character encoding

[kosmosik]

I've installed Alfresco Community Edition to evaluate it. Everything quite works but when I input international (polish like: ąźłęźżółę etc.) characters in some fields and send the form they are stored and apear as "????" in browser.

F.e. it happens for description of folder/space but in usernames it is OK.

I've installed Alfresco on RHEL5, Tomcat (bundled one), MySQL (UTF8 database).

I've searched everywhere but I can't find the root of problem and I've ran out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Hi,

You should be seeing your entered characters being displayed, not question marks.
This normally points to a misconfiguration somewhere - can you check that the following settings are in your 'my.cnf' config cile for MySQL:

[mysql]
…
default-character-set=utf8
…

and

[mysqld]
…
# The default character set that will be used when a new schema or table is
# created and no character set is defined
default-character-set=utf8
…
