[opencms-dev] Re: installation error with version 5 rc 2

[David Tildesley (DSLWN)]

Just to make sure the encoding setting is taking hold use this as the
"target" in your "tomcat start" shortcut (don't start tomcat as a service
until you solve this problem first):

C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin\java.exe -jar -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
-Duser.dir="C:\tc4" "C:\tc4\bin\bootstrap.jar" start

obviously ensure you use your own install directory for tomcat and JavaSDK
in the above.
