Hello,

since 1 year i have had a small xotcl web application running on a server
with Redhat Linux (don´t know the version, changed since), xotcl 1.1 (i´m
using the actiweb packages), mysql 3.23 and mysqltcl installed on it.
A few weeks ago the admin of the server upgraded to a new redhat version and
also to mysql 4.1.14. Since then the encoding of the web pages my
application delivered was not correct anymore - characters like ü or ä
weren´t displayed.

I changed the charset-information in the html-header to utf8, converted my
old database (which was in iso88591) to utf8 and upgraded to mysqltcl 3.0.1
- still no utf8-characters in the html-pages. I tried to find a solution
within the actiweb code but although i found some lines with "encoding" in I
it don´t really know what is happening in there - could anybody please give
me a small hint?

Thanks a lot,
Erwin

the server´s configuration:
Redhat Linux 3.0ES
xotcl 1.1 (i´m using the actiweb packages)
mysqltcl 3.0.1
mysql 4.1.14
