Running Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.10 on my development machine, I have a few vhosts and I need one of them to serve iso-8859-1 rather than UTF-8. Try as I might, it remains UTF-8. I have added AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 to the vhost definition. In desperation I have also tried adding the same directive to httpd.conf and apache2.conf. Nothing works. Wondering if it had to do with PHP rather than static html, I have tried accessing a file that is indeed static: same story.
Wondering if there was something peculiar about this particular vhost, I have tried setting and resetting the same value in other vhosts and looking at the response headers after reloading the modified config, and it works as it's supposed to. So, the question is, what's different? Answer: I don't know. Is the charset getting overridden by a local .htaccess file? No. Am I remembering to tell Apache to reload its config after changing its config? Yes. The offending host definition looks like this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin david_mi...@nysd.uscourts.gov Servername interps3 AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 DocumentRoot /var/www/interps3 <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/interps3> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/interps3.error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined </VirtualHost> and yet... r...@interps3:/etc/apache2/sites-available# curl -I interps3/index.php HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:13:27 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.10-2ubuntu6.5 with Suhosin-Patch X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.10-2ubuntu6.5 Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 By the way, the reason I care is that there are MySQL tables defined as latin1 with accented characters that aren't getting displayed correctly, and I have been through this before and am reasonably certain that it's a charset mismatch issue. I am mystified. Any suggestions? Gratefully, -- David Mintz http://davidmintz.org/ It ain't over: http://www.healthcare-now.org/
