Thanks for your time, but I've solved the Problem with reinstalling the Wiki on an Apache Server.

But I've followed the instructions. With doesn't react anymore i ment, that the browser is trying to load the next page (after hit "save") and will never get any page. Not even after a nighttime! I suppose, that the problem was based on the codepages used by the IIS. If I created an article using SQL, I was able to use the special characters, but Wiki had shown me funny ones instead. If I created an article using the Wiki, the article was saved in the database, but instead of the special characters there where funny ones (e.g. ü=>³). So it seams to me, that the Database can use this characters, and Wiki can it also, but the IIS can't.

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?

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?
