    <summary type="html">I&amp;#39;ve started Liferay 7.0 GA3 bundled with Tomcat, changed database driver to PostgreSQL, and restarted. In the initial configuration wizard I&amp;#39;ve entered the site name with a non-English character, and for some reason it has been saved to the database with a wrong encoding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do I change the site name? I cannot find it anywhere. I&amp;#39;ve tried Control Panel -&amp;gt; Sites -&amp;gt; Sites -&amp;gt; Edit, but the site name is only on the black bar at top of the page, and there is no field to edit it. I&amp;#39;ve tried to search for the solution, but all answers were related to version 6, and they apparently do not apply to version 7.</summary>
