The error was that some of my projects had greek names and after the upgrade i see only ???????? instead of the greek text.

Make sure that you use 'utf8' as DB_CHARSET (in config/config.php). If that doesn't work try putting 'latin1' (but, it should work with utf8).

Since when do you use activeCollab? Did you use 0.6 and upgraded to 0.7?

DB_CHARSET was allready UTF8, i tried with latin1 also but the same thing happened.
I'll try to do the same procedure on my other server and let you know what will come out.

I'm using since 0.7 RC1

User reported similar problem with Greek characters the same day 0.7.1 came out and playing with DB_CHARSET fixed the problem. 0.7.1 does not change the way text is handled, by it updates config.php so that was my first guess...

Thanks Ilija, this worked at least for my installation after upgrading to 0.7.1 (all the German umlauts were not displaying correctly...)

Hi, Ilija.

I got the same problem after upgrading to 0.7.1 on Japanese languege.

It seems like the line " define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); " is missing in /config/config.php.
So I added the line, and now 0.7.1 works fine.

same here, I upgraded very succesfully from 0.7 to 0.7.1, but the " define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); " was missing from config.php - after inserting all german Umlauts are perfect again.

Did I ever say "thank you"? - I really mean it. :-)

Yes also the case for me, after upgrade the define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); was not here anymore
Just added it and it worked fine :)
The best way to predict the future is to invent it
