This has helped, thank you. We're looking into the JVM settings, which should solve it.

Browse All TopicsWe've recently moved a CF application from a CF4.5 server to a CF8 server. The web server on both boxen is Sun One. I'm using cf_directory to display directories and file names, some of which contain French or Spanish characters. This all works fine on the old server, but the CF8 box is having difficulty interpreting French and Spanish characters in folder and file names as well as in urls (displaying these characters as regular text in a page is fine).
Any suggestions as to where a fix or configuration may be needed?
Many thanks,
M

> .. characters in folder and file names as well as in urls
URLs consist of 7-bit US-ASCII only according RFC, all other characters must be url encoded.
Said this, you need to check which charset your filesystem supports and how the web and/or application server translates the url encoded paths to those of the file system.
I guess it's a filesystem configuration.
