Re: [Dspace-tech] encoding issue - again?
Elo! The Dark Lord from Redmont stroke again! Thanks so much Dorothea, that makes perfect sense. The best example of not a bug but a feature that I have seen so far! I replaced all that gunk with the proper UTF characters in the database and the problem is indeed solved. Thanks again. I was indeed totally looking the wrong way! ~maike On 21-Apr-08, at 5:57 AM, Dorothea Salo wrote: (tr etc) #146;Feel It, Don#146;t Think: snip which displays like 'Feel It, Don't Think: snip This isn't UTF-8.

[Dspace-tech] encoding issue - again?
Hi all,
I'm really fazed by this one. I may be staring in the face of the obvious, but
just need
another pair of eyes (or brains) to see what is going on here.
I'm upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.5. Now at 1.4.
Re. UTF-8 compliancy: I did everything that seems to be required:
postgres DB says:
dspace= \l+
List of databases
Name| Owner | Encoding |Description
---+--+--+---
dspace| postgres | UTF8 |
==
Java process says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] conf]$ ps -eF | grep UTF
dspace 23927 1 0 186486 43356 0 18:19 pts/000:00:07
/usr/local/jre/bin/java
-Xmx512M -Xms64M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 {...}
==
.bash_profile for user Dspace says:
JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx512M -Xms64M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
==
but still:
1.2.1 installation, HTML source of browse-title gives
(tr etc) #146;Feel It, Don#146;t Think: snip
which displays like
Feel It, Dont Think: snip
while 1.4 gives:
(tr etc) amp;#146;Feel It, Donamp;#146;t Think: snip
which displays like
#146;Feel It, Don#146;t Think:
The headers of the source code both say:
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8
the database for BOTH installations contain the same lines:
1.4
dspace= select * from itemsbytitle where title like '%Digital Games%';
items_by_title_id | item_id |
title
|
sort_title
---+-+-+--
1603077 |1510 | #146;Feel It, Don#146;t Think:
1.2.1
dspace= select * from itemsbytitle where title like '%Digital Games%';
items_by_title_id | item_id |
title
|
sort_title
---+-+-+--
1690147 |1510 | #146;Feel It, Don#146;t Think:
now what can I have overlooked?
