When installing FME Server 2022.2.5 b22795, i used the character '¤' in the PostgreSQL database password. The password was accepted and the installation finished without warnings or errors.
Then, none of the FME Services would start. When looking for the configuration files, I noticed that server.xml was missing. I copied it from another installation wich made the FME Server Application Server start. The FME Server database service would not start still.
After some troubleshooting, I decided to reinstall. When asked again for the password, for some reason, I used another password without the '¤' sign. After the installation, all services started up and the server.xml file was where it's supposed to be.
I have repeated the procedure on a different machine with the same result.
My guess is that the '¤' sign is approved by the FME installation program but not accepted by the database. I don't understand why the server.xml file was missing though.
For english/american users, this might be an odd symbol but on a swedish QWERTY keyboard layout it replaces the $ sign on Shift + 4, so it's easy to access and accepted in passwords in other systems.
If this is the case I think the installation program should not silently accept characters that PostgreeSQL will not.
