Getting Support for Accented Characters in Filenames

478

Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide

If you make this change to the

language.conf

file after a collection has been

created, to support accented characters in filenames for that collection you
need to delete the collection, make this change to the file, recreate the
collection choosing “English NS 8859 (ISO-8859-1” from the “Documents are in”
drop-down list, and reindex all the documents in the collection.
