Character encoding within ISPConfig

Hi,

there are a lot of post concerning character encoding, but they all seem to be about the "normal" apache webserver running on port 80.
I insatlled my server according the "perfect debian etch" Howto and after that installed ISPConfig. I added "AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1" and the "normal" site all work well now.
But I also have an character encoding problem within ISPConfig. All special characters like ä,ü, ect. are mixed up.

The encodeing of the ISPConfig HTML-pages is set to ISO-8859-1.

Is it possible that the german translation files are utf-8 encoded?

Hi!
You should look for:

Code:

$go_info["theme"]["charset"] = "iso-8859-2";

in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php and change it to what You need.

 

It's set to "iso-8859-1" which should be fine for german "Umlaute"...

More info about my problem:

When I switch the encoding within my browser manually to UTF-8 the special characters will be shown correctly.

But the encoding of the page is iso-8859-1:

HTML:

<title>ISPConfig Startseite</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

The strange thing is, that when I look at the html-source within the browser, the special chracters are also shown correctly.

Sorry, but I don't know, how to check this and if they are not installed how to install them (debian etch). Can I do this with apt-get?

I know, people like me shouldn't run a dedicated server ;-)

Okay, the only locale installed was de_DE.UTF-8. I now installed
de_DE.ISO-8859-1 and de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro and selected de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro as default.

Everything works fine now except the "status"-tab when I login as admin. But it is possible that I screwd up the language file while trying to solve the problem myself ;-)

The only problem is, that I can't find the language file for this tab. Do you know in which lib-folder it is?

melwood

 

There's no language file for the Status tab. It just grabs the output of

Code:

df -h

on your shell and displays it.

 

Thanks for your help. After installing the new locale, setting it to de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro and restarting the server, now the text in the browser is in english. But when I issue the command on the console it is in german, strange...

Updated to 2.2.14 and now the text is in german again

Thanks for all your help!
