[Pmwiki-users] fopen(wiki.d/.flock): failed

[Pham Cong Dinh]

Hi Patrick R. Michaud,

Thanks for your excellent software. I just installed pmwiki2 
successfully on my Windows XP box with php 5.0.1 and apache 2. I also 
just found the way to install it on my Linux host. I deleted wiki.d 
folder on the server which pmwiki created. Instead, I created a new 
wiki.d folder manually (not uploaded), executing chmod 777 and retried. 
So, It works. now, I can see an .flock file in it. After that, I upload 
the .htaccess file from my Windows XP box into that wiki.d folder. I 
think that is alright. You can see it here: 
http://www.opensourcevn.org/php/pmwiki2

But I have got another problem. It seems that pmwiki2 doesnt support 
utf-8. I have added this code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

into pmwiki.tmpl but each time I reloaded the page, the browser (IE6 and 
Firefox 1.0) automatically reset the character encoding into ISO-8859-1, 
not utf-8 as I expected. As a result, I must reset the character 
encoding to utf-8 to read the Unicode character.

Once more, when I entered the Unicode character into the Edit form (wih 
utf-8 encoding in browser, input method engine with utf-8 support), save 
and... it doesnot work. What I got is the question marks instead of 
Unicode character at human-readable format.

It only returns the Unicode chracter at correct format only if I entered 
them in a browser in  ISO-8859-1 encoding mode. But there is a problem 
when I re-edited them because what I saw in the Edit form is the code of 
the characters, not the characters themselves, something like this:

b&#7841;n, r&#7845;t c&#7843;m &#417;n b&#7841;n

I have read your source code but I haven't found any solution for this 
problem yet.

In fact, your product is very impressive. A great work.

Thanks and best regards,

Dinh
