Hi, I've installed Icyphoenix the last release downloaded from phpbb-es.com and I changed the encode to utf-8 in lang_main_settings.php

$lang['ENCODING'] = 'utf-8';
$lang['ENCODING_ALT'] = 'utf-8';
$lang['DIRECTION'] = 'ltr';
$lang['HEADER_LANG'] = 'sp-es';
$lang['HEADER_XML_LANG'] = 'sp-es';


But I still see ? into some words...

Thanks

For spainish it is not sp-es, but en-es

Ok I cahnged what you say and I still see � inside the words.

$lang['ENCODING'] = 'utf-8';
$lang['ENCODING_ALT'] = 'utf-8';
$lang['DIRECTION'] = 'ltr';
$lang['HEADER_LANG'] = 'en-es';

I'm running my own VPS server.

How can I know which encode has it set¿

I think you should get those info by running a phpinfo() script.

Accept-Charset     ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

Try to set encoding to ISO-8859-1 or utf-8 with en-es language tag.

It's solved now.

Thanks

Well. It's not solved...

I've changed the httpd from httpdlite to apache and now if i set it to ISO-8859-1 it doesn't works... neither with UFT-8

u.u'

I trust you mean UTF-8 and not UFT-8 ?

Or have you created an error ?

Maybe this will help because I have no idea why you have brought your server problems to Icy Phoenix when it is apparently a server-based problem.

VPS server+encoding problems.

If I use lighttp I don't have that problems...

That is too much for me. Do you have technical support at the hosting services?

I think the issue is theirs.
