[opencms-dev] Problems with starting up the product

[Claus Priisholm]

You need to set the encoding for Tomcat so it matches OpenCms' 
expectations (ISO-8859-1 as default) - I usually hack the 
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh script to set it (by adding this line 
just before the script executes the command):

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS" -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1"

There are other, less intrusive ways to achieve the same, see the 
documentation (installation) or search the mail-archives for 
alternatives.
