[Mediawiki-l] Problems with Special Signs in Filenames

[Jean Fiedler]

No we are using linux the old and the new one was linux.

Is it possible to fix theese files. Your hint is only working for new files.

The strange thing ist that not every  file with a special sign is broken. Only some.

Are you using Windows as the host OS? I know Windows causes this problem
  due to issues between the PHP engine, UTF-8 and Windows filenames. We use a JavaScript hook on the upload form to munge the filename so it contains plain characters only. Unfortunately I can't share it.
