Hello HS,
i am not using Zebra, but most of the stuff from my experience below will work regardless:
Hopefully, you followed the install instructions that help ensure the system is setup to use UTF-8 (these appear in more than one of the install guides on kohadocs and elsewhere, for e.g., see INSTALL.fedora7 in the root folder when you unzip koha-3.00.00-stableRC1).
i am quoting only a *snippet* of the install instructions below: QUOTE To check, open a terminal window and type the locale. You must obtain: LANG = en_GB.UTF-8
Check. I have: $> locale LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_CA:en LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
.... 1.4.2 The web server Apache 2 is it configured to use UNICODE?
To verify, using a text editor, open the httpd.conf file located in / etc / httpd / conf and look if it contains the directive:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Check. I have: $> cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset # <SNIP> AddCharset UTF-8 .utf8 AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
1.4.3 The MySQL server is it configured to use UNICODE?
NB: mysqld service must be started. In a Terminal window, type the command mysql, then an SQL to display variables content server configuration. Text of query:
show where variable_name variables like 'char%'; UNQUOTE
This I am not sure about. I am not getting any conf variable with utf in it: $> pwd /etc/mysql $> sudo grep -r utf * $> So I think I need to fix this before proceeding further. Thanks.
