I am in the process of moving the forum from an FreeBSD to Linux server and during the time also upgrade from 2.7.6 to 3.0.2.

The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the swedish characters corrctly displayed.

The messages is stored in files, running file on one message file gets me:
msg_50000: ISO-8859 text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators

The database is in UTF-8, I have changed the charset in the template to UTF-8. I have rebuild the theme, I have runned compress messages, but still gets garbage on the text read from files (from db everything is ok).
I treied to run iconv on the files, but that of course changed the offsets on the messages in the file Smile

and after some more reading there seems lika I should have an extra option when chosing compress messages for changing charset, this one I doesn't get, but I have this enabled in php



iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => glibc
iconv library version => 2.5
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1

See Compact Messages:
"If your PHP installation doesn't have the iconv module enabled, you will not see the character set conversion options."

created this:
<?php if (@extension_loaded('iconv')) {
        print('installed');
}else {
        print('not installed');
}
?>




and the output gave me "installed"

but the I added some debug output in compact.php, and that condition never returned true

This is not a FUDforum problem.
Maybe add more debugging statements to see why iconv isn't loaded.

well, actually it was a problem in FUD, in compact.php the code looked like this
<!-- REMOVE
<?php if (@extension_loaded('iconv')) {


and by removing the line with REMOVE (and the corresponding end comment) it actually worked
