Hi, Before I go report this as a bug, does anyone else experience problems when using the euro sign in a reply? I'm getting: Software error: Wide character in syswrite at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Net/Cmd.pm line 430. This shows up in the error_log too: [Thu Sep 23 15:42:19 2004] index.pl: Wide character in syswrite at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Net/Cmd.pm line 430. In 1.2.3, this lead to a Premature end of script headers, but in 1.3.1 i think the error reporting changed. Could someone give me a hint? I'm using UTF-8 :) Thanks! Regards, Gerben

Works like a charm for me. Alas, I have no need for utf-8 and am using iso-8859-1 both in OTRS and the DB backend, which is a MySQL. Everything on Deb testing. Win32 works too, same config.

What are your settings? Which DB backend do you use? Which browser? Which language? With kind regards, Robert Kehl

Which version of mysql might be important too. I don't think it was capable of supporting UTF-8 until 4.something. Cheers, Chris

Are you sure? ISO-8859-1 doesn't include the euro sign for sure, so your messages may be displayed wrongly on other platforms. You should switch to ISO-8859-15 (ISO Latin 9) or Unicode instead. - Alessandro

I'm not sure, but I think this is becasue syslog can't log in utf-8. So OTRS 1.3 comes with an extra option: [Kernel/Config.pm] # param for LogModule Kernel::System::Log::SysLog # (if syslog can't work with utf-8, force the log # charset with this option, on other chars will be # replaces with ?) $Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::Charset'} = 'iso-8859-15'; [...] Then it should work.
