This morning I decided to try and make sure our Koha would support Unicode properly, following the instructions at:
    http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad

Since upgrading to MySQL 4.1.11 (using the Debian mysql-server-4.1 package) our Koha installation is behaving very strangely.

  1. On the intranet I have to log in every time I go to a different page, each time it shows:

    Login Error

    You are accessing Koha from a different ip address! Please login again.
  2. Only the 'kohaadmin' user (the MySQL user for Koha) seems to be able to log in.
  3. Our NPL templates no longer load the stylesheets (both OPAC and intranet).  In the HTML source it seems to be trying to load "/opac-tmpl/npl/en/includes/" (the directory the stylesheets are in).
  4. Searching behaves normally and I can see the list of borrowers.  It seems that Koha is able to connect to the database with at least some success.
  5. There are no errors in the OPAC or Koha error logs.
Does anyone have any suggestions what might have gone wrong?  I have a backup of the MySQL 4.0 database, so I can roll back if necessary but then I'll lose Unicode support.
