UTF-8 conversion

[rvarkevisser]

Hi there,

I have a problem and I can not figure out how to solve this. I've been at it for the last three weeks and still don't have a solution. Here's the problem

http://www.la-capirinha.nl/test.htm

The Euro, apostrophe etc. are all shown as squares. I use apache2.0.54 with ISPConfig. The OS is Debian Etch Stable. I installed every Charset I could find and tried every locale setting. I now use nl_NL@EURO.

I have another server which runs Debian Sarge stable and here every thing is fine. The problem is that on the Debian Edge server, I have around 130 customer websites running. So I really need a solution!
I tried to set the default charset to UTF-8 in apache2.conf. I tried defaultcharset off. I tried everything. Maybe UTF-8 isn't properly installed within apache2, so how can I reinstall it without causing any damage to the customers websites?

The Euro, apostrophe etc. are all shown as squares when converted from a different charset (like windows-1252). I use apache2.0.54 with ISPConfig. The OS is Debian Etch Stable. When using utf-8 as the coding for the page, it works perfectly.

You can try to enable more locales by giving the command:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Choose the locales you need.
Probably this will work for you.

Hans,

I matched the LANG and every setting in locale to the server where it does work correctly. After restarting apache2 it looks fine now. The strange think is that I had to set it to POSIX.

LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Don't ask me why ??? but it works for now. I managed to get it working once, but after a few nights, the problem was back. (probably after a restart of apache)
