[pmwiki-users] Question about moving a wiki from one host to another

[Radu]

Since the new pages are created right and 
displayed right, and the old files are also 
displayed right but not linked well, I doubt it's 
an encoding mismatch error. My guess is that 
during transfer some sort of recoding occured, 
and the special chars in the old filenames were garbled.

I would make a new page called RäkSmörgåsNew and 
compare the file names in the shell to look for diferences.
