[Koha] MySQL and utf8

[Beda Szukics]

Hi all 

I try to set up my server (debian 4.0) for koha and I follow the guidelines 
in: 

http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad 

to make shure the encondings are right. 

Now I have a problem setting up MySQL: 

I added the three lines suggested: 

init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci 

in my.cnf in the section [mysqld] 

Some of the variables suggested remain still latin1 

mysql> show variables like "char%";
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | latin1                     |
| character_set_connection | latin1                     |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |
| character_set_results    | latin1                     |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec) 

mysql> show variables like "coll%";
+----------------------+-------------------+
| Variable_name        | Value             |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| collation_connection | latin1_swedish_ci |
| collation_database   | utf8_general_ci   |
| collation_server     | utf8_general_ci   |
+----------------------+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec) 

Is that a problem? What do I have to change to make the system utf8-proof? 

Thank you               Beda
