 * hi
    I’m having some problems uploading files via Next Gen. My server reports:
 *     ```
       [Mon Jul 16 14:20:04 2012] [error] [client 81.187.293.71] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function utf8_encode() in /var/www/mydomain/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/functions.php on line 243, referer: http://mydomain.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=nggallery-add-gallery
       ```
   
 * I *can* FTP images to the server, but the images don’t show up in the gallery
   admin page within wordpress?
