[opencms-dev] re: Problem with mysql connection - OS X

[Tim Cavanagh]

I have worked out how to install openCMS on a system using OS X. I initially
took the easy way and changed the encoding in opencms to macroman however
this causes a mysql connection error. The answer is to change the encoding
of tomcat to ISO-8859-1. To do this you need to edit the catalina startup
shell script found at <yourinstallocation>/Tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

Add the following variables to the script exactly (including quotes) or it
will fail.

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

I know this is already in the archive but past messages fail to provide the
syntax correctly.
