International Characters not appearing or appearing as '?'

Change the Charset of the title, alias, title_alias and create_by_alias columns of the jos_versions table to the UTF8 charset.  They were by default latin1 which doesn't support many International characters.  This has been fixed in the current release.

You can do this by running the following query

ALTER TABLE jos_version CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;

Installation Problems

• I cannot install the component, com_versions.

Problem:  During installation, I receive the following error message

Error

• JFolder::create: Could not create directory
• Component Install: Failed to create directory.: "/mysite/components/com_versions"

Message

• Install Component Error

This is due to the fact that the installer cannot write to the Joomla directory shown in the error message, in this example, it's /mysite/components/com_versions.  Read here for more information regarding directory permissions.

Problem:  During installation, I receive the following error message

Error

• Warning! Failed to move file.

This is because the installer cannot write to /tmp.Read here for more information regarding directory permissions.

• How can I check if this is a permissions issue?

From the back-end of Joomla, choose "Help", then "System Info".  From there, check "Directory Permissions".  Be sure the following are writable:

administrator/components/    
administrator/language/*
components/
tmp/
language/*
plugins/
plugins/content/
plugins/editors-xtd/

• What if its not a permissions issue?
