This thread is for all your simple questions about installing and running Wakaba or Kareha, that just require quick answers. Please don't create new threads for issues like that, post them in here instead.
Before posting, check that the question has not already been answered in this thread, or in the previous two threads:
Also check the documentation: http://wakaba.c3.cx/docs/docs.html
There is also a setup guide by Anon: http://wiki.iiichan.net/index.php?title=Wakaba_and_Kareha_Setup_Guide
Questions about "500 Internal Server Errors" go in this thread: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1109033191/
The header of the board still points to the support thread part 2. Just thought I'd tell you.
Here's a simple one, can you add boards? Is it done through the config file or the Management Panel? Thanks.
You copy your Kareha directory somewhere else. There's no option of sub-forums or anything like that. You can only have different instances of Kareha in different folders.
Why are there secret options in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to release them and be done with it instead of being secretive?
>>5
What secret options are you talking about? If you're referring to the SecretFeatures page on the documentation wiki, that's just undocumented features which are included.
Because they are jokes and not meant to be used.
>>8
If we have "useless" functions like that, why not go for stupid things like stickies too?
>>9
because the joke features are amusing, while stickies just turn boards into shit.

Wakaba
i turned on function stops Wakaba from renaming image files, but the cyrillic characters look really weird, like укр.jpg.
Can you help me make wakaba show cyrillic names correctly?

Check your server's configuration. The files have to be served as UTF-8, and that is outside of Wakaba's realm. Specifically, the Content-Type header needs to have a charset=utf-8.
--------------------------------
I added line <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to futaba_style.pl but nothing changed. Am I doing smthing wrong?
>>13
name your files in utf-8 instead of whatever weird encoding you're using.
>>15
on most sane operating systems, utf-8 is the default for filenames, and it's easy to change the encoding.
but i'm guessing you're on windows, and i'm not sure how to do it on windows.
you could figure out what encoding your operating system is using and modify wakaba to convert from that to utf-8, but that would break it for anyone who is using any other encoding (including utf-8). you could do some hacks to try to guess the right encoding, but even then it will get some filenames wrong, at the cost of greatly increased code complexity. really, the best option is to just have it rename the files. that's why the default is the way it is.
