[Koha-devel] Problems with diacritics

[Rodríguez, José L.]

Good morning,

I'm a new member in this list.

I,ve installed koha-3.00.00 and it works perfectly. But I have a problem with diacritics. In cataloguing, when I put a character whith diacritic mark (á, é ...) or the letter ñ, I get the next error

The following fatal error has occurred:

Can't call method "fields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/additem.pl line 193.

Apache	Server version: Apache/2.2.3 Server built: Jan 15 2008 20:33:41 	
Koha	3.00.00.107	
Koha DB	3.0000107	
MySQL	mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.0

Perl	5.008008	

The mysql, according to Joshua Ferraro  http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad is correct:

mysql> show variables where variable_name LIKE "character_set%" OR  variable_name LIKE "collation%";

| collation_server         | utf8_unicode_ci            |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
11 rows in set (0.00 sec)

My question is: Which is the problem? Should I change the DBD::mysql configuration to enable utf-8?

Thanks in advance.
