[TYPO3-UG UK] help with 4.2.2 and rte editor

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Piers,

Make sure you have the 'mbstring' and 'iconv' PHP modules enabled.

Also to run a TYPO3 installation in UTF-8 make sure you have the 
following line in your 'typo3conf/localconf.php' file:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['forceCharset'] = 'utf-8';

For the database I would suggest using the 'utf8_general_ci' collation.

Best regards,

Oliver
