[TYPO3-english] set

[Andreas Becker]

Hi all

we have a strange behaviour in one site which we cannot explain.

We have updated a 4.3 site to 4.5.4

When we ran the install tool it writes the following two lines into
localconf.php

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['setDBinit'] = ''; //  Modified or inserted by TYPO3
> Install Tool.
> $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['forceCharset'] = ''; //  Modified or inserted by
> TYPO3 Install Tool.


The my.cnf settings are as follow:

[client]
>


> [mysqld_safe]
>


> [mysqld]
> init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci; SET NAMES utf8;'
> default-character-set=utf8
> character-set-server=utf8
> collation-server=utf8_general_ci


in php.ini

default_charset = "utf-8"
> extension=php_mbstring.so
> mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8


In apache2.conf

AddDefaultCharset utf-8


If we now check the settings in TYPO3 Backend with

> sm_charsethelper


everything is green bu the encoding in backend and frontend shows strange
characters.

Disabeling those two lines which have been written by the install tool
instead brings a good output in frontend and backend

//$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['setDBinit'] = ''; //  Modified or inserted by
> TYPO3 Install Tool.
> //$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['forceCharset'] = ''; //  Modified or inserted by
> TYPO3 Install Tool.


======================

If we delete the line

> [mysqld]
> init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci; SET NAMES utf8;'


the sm_charsethelper shows yellow error warnings because of wrong encoding
settings with latin_swedish1

Any idea what might be wrong or how we could check what is wrong beside
using sm_charsethelper?
Is there another place where i.e. setDBinit and forceCharset gets defined
beside localconf.php and that there are wrong settings?
