This guide gives instructions for building a Learning Object Metadata (LOM) repository on Drupal 5.x and PHP 5.1.x.

Please note that this guide is intended for the version 2 of the repository setup, please read the New Features from the v1 of the Learning Repository at the Features page for a list of changes.

To enable MathML support on a Drupal-based website, please do the following steps:

• In the databases, make sure that all the tables and the database itself have the collation utf8_general_ci
• in some cases for example if the Drupal installation was made over cpanel, the collation tends to be latin1_swedish_ci
• The collation is important for the system to be able to view special mathematical characters correctly, for example ?, ? and ?
