Hi there,
Im running an MediaWiki 1.5.1 with PHP 5.0.5 (isapi) and MySQL 5.0.15-nt on an MS IIS (InternetInformationServer). I have some troubles with it: If I try to use a "Umlaut" (german special character like ä,ö,ü) in the articel name, the articel will be saved if I hit the save button, but Wiki doesn't react anymore. If i try to load such an article, it is the same. In the Database on the server are funny characters instat of the Umlaute I have used. If I take a lock with phpMyAdmin from my PC the characters seems pretty OK. The tabels are all utf8-gerneral_ci and the database itself latin1_swedish_ci (don't ask me why swedish). The type of the tables are mostly "InnoDB". Searchindex is "MyISAM" an hitcounter is "MEMORY" (with a unknown amount of datasets inside).
Ive tryed to update the whole wiki to 1.5.2, since then i am unable to delete an articel (which worked fine before). Downgrading to 1.5.1 makes no change to this.
Have anybody any suggestions?

When you say, "wiki doesn't react any more", can you elaborate on that, since it could mean a number of things. What happens to make you say that?
The characters look peculiar due to character set issues, I would image, but they should be stored without any problems. When you upgraded, did you follow the instructions in the upgrade document?
On the subject of upgrades; can you be specific about what problems occur under which version of MediaWiki? Also, have you *ever* had this wiki running - i.e. did these issues start after upgrading to 1.5.1, or have you always had this issue?
