Hi, I got a big problem, I am afraid. I installed the PageBlaster in a Spanish web, and the htm static file misinterpret all the non-English characters (accents, ñ, etc) The resulting page is not comprehensible, full of weird symbols. Please, help. I did put all my faith in PageBlaster solving my speed issues, now what? Max

Can you point me to a page where this is happening? It sounds like an output encoding issue. PageBlaster attemts to correct this problem by making sure that all output is encoded as UTF-8. If you have iso-8859-1 as an output encoding, try changing it to UTF-8

Thanks, John, I would like to do that, but how do you do it? I am afraid I am a newbie. The page is http://quintasolucion.com/quienessomos.htm

I checked many files in the DNN root directory and subfolders: all of them have UTF-8 encoding. Then I reviewed the host and admin configurations, and found nothing related to encoding. I do not find it in the web.config, but it might be under other denomination. Where else can it be? Yolanda

If you enable the static file handler it will take care of this for you. Or you could create a portal-wide replacement rule that puts the encoding in the output of the page. SearchFor: < /head> ReplaceWith: < META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">< /head> Note: I added a space to the head and meta tags above so they would display here in the form. You need to remove the space after < for the actual rule. Or you can put the meta tag directly in the head section of the default.aspx page.

John, I tried solutions 2 and 3, and none worked. But then I saw in the default page that the meta tag should be closed when in the default.aspx section. My fault, at first I did not realize. Now it is working fine, thanks a lot, a lot. Yolanda.
