[opencms-dev] Error on OpenCMS 5.0rc2 Setup - encoding JavaVM is different from OpenCMS

[Dimitri Bougoulias]

Hi Peter,

You obviously running tomcat using the icons (shortcuts)  that windows
tomcat setup, creates..
You have two options:
1) Either run tomcat using the startup.bat file (in ..\Tomcat 4.1\bin) - it
takes the environment variable into account...
Or...
2) Edit the shortcut "Start Tomcat" so that target is like:
C:\Java\j2sdk1.4.1\bin\java.exe -jar -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Duser.dir="C:\Java\Tomcat 4.1" "C:\Java\Tomcat 4.1\bin\bootstrap.jar" start

(You just add the file encoding to the already existing target...)

Hope this solves your problem...

Dimitri

Subject: [opencms-dev] Error on OpenCMS 5.0rc2 Setup - encoding JavaVM is
different from OpenCMS


Hello,
i tried to setup the new OpenCMS 5.0 RC2.
At a very first step, the setup wizard checks the encoding character sets.
Here the OpenCMS Setup fails with the message 'Error: the encoding of yout
JavaVM (cp1252) is different form the OpenCms encoding (ISO-8859-1)'.

How/Where can I set the correct JavaVM encoding?
My Configuration:
- Windows2000 (english version)
- Java SDK 1.4.1
- Tomcat 4.1.12

I've tried to set the encoding with the CATALINE_OPTS environment variable,
but result is the same. Thanks and Regards Peter Burri
