Upgrading

[Rudolf]

Hi all,

We used dotproject 1.0 beta quite a long time on a windows server. Now I have the task to migrate it to Fedora Core 4 Linux with PHP 5.

At this time, I only have 2 problems.
First; if I list the files, I get them 4 times. The first title is All Files, second is Unknown, then Document and Application. All on the same page, 4 times the same files.

Second problem is with "strange signs". We host a few web sites. So we stored in some projects also Thai text for example. Or Russian short texts. Or German, French, Spanisch.... all these signs are not readable with DP 2.0.1. Here is an example copied from the mysql database (this is Thai text): ดอกไม้! Also normal German Umlaute like öäü are not displayed correctly, but they are stored correct in the database. (I live in the German speaking country Switzerland).

I know, PHP 5 is "not supported" on DP 2.x. And I also know that the MySQL format for mysqldump is not the same in our old database and mysql-4.1.11-2. (mysql dumped the old database probably in latin1 format, new standard is utf8).

But I am still looking for a chance to migrate.... Any suggestions?

Err, the code of the "strange signs" got really translated in Thai in my post. Funny... :|

The code in the database looks like this:
title : ดอกไม้!

sorry, even between code tags the code get translated.
just when I read it with DP I get strange signs and not the "real" thai text. where the code SHOUD be translated it isn't (in our dotproject), and here where I want to show the CODE it get translated into Thai. Crazy.

charset problem in php.ini? httpd.conf? DP options to set? mysql config? I am so close, but can't see it... hmm, seems not really to be a dotproject problem it seems.
