Please refer to setlocale man page. Detected locale: C (using UTF-8) " so here is the question: can i edit/change only one vhosts httpd.conf's Charset?... hi, i have a situation;
in my server:
export | grep LANG
response is:
declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8

in httpd.conf:
#AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
(so there is no charset definition...)

i am using Plesk over Centos 5 (2.6.18-194.32.1.el5) i386, but one of my web site debug says:

"Server charset Encoding: You must set a correct charset encoding in your locale definition in the form: en_us.UTF-8. Please refer to setlocale man page. Detected locale: C (using UTF-8) "

so here is the question:

See: https://wiki.intra.rackspace.com/kwiki/index.cgi?MySQLhttpCharacterConfig Basically MySQLs global.character_set_results was ISO-8859-1 whereas httpd was UTF-8 RHEL3, 2.1 and whatever else is ISO-8859-1 for httpd. Basically the website page encoding (if not set, AddDefaultCharset in httpd.conf) MUST match character_set_results for MySQL!!!! this was done because of the issues with MySQL within RHEL4 prior to that update.
