[users@httpd] My apache does not display swedish characters...
Hi,
I'm running Linux Fedora Core 3. Using Emacs or any other editor i
can create a file which contains swedish characters (åäö) in its body. Also,
cat that file displays the swedish characters correctly.
Now, if i create an index.html file which contains the swedish characters åäö
and let apache httpd serve that page when I browse my site from another
computer, my browser displays weird characters instead of the swedish
characters?!?!?
Btw. this is the case, no matter if i use Firefox on a linux computer or ms-ie
on xp! What is going on?
Thanks!

I added this to my .emacs-file:
(standard-display-european t)
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode))
0)
and it seems to work!
Thanks Sean!

the default charset for notepad on xp is unicode.
you should check what charset you are using with emacs...
that should be where you problem is...
it definately isnt an apache issue...

On WinXP I used Notepad.
On Linux I used Emacs.
I start to believe that this is a problem not related to Apache. But on the
other hand, shouldn't Apache be able to deliver a page properly despite the
file's origin?
Btw. thank you Sean for your answers and patience!

Wow - that is really weird to me! Do you know why this is the case?
I'm running Gnome, and start Emacs in a X-console from the Gnome Terminal.

windows uses a different carset than linux here. i've even seen different
results on a linux-shell and in a x-session. do you edit your files on a
text-console or on a x-console.

I just noticed that if I create a html-file on a WindowsXP-machine and then use
samba to move that file to my Linux-machine, that file is displayed nicely in
my various web-browsers on my various machines, i.e. it shows the swedish
characters ÅÄÖ !!!!
This is in contrast to the case, where the file is created on the linux-machine
running the apache webserver, in which case weird characters are shown instead
of the Swedish ones!!!!
What is going on here?

Is that the contents of the actual file?
Have you tried not setting a charset and setting it properly in the
browser and
seeing if it displays properly?

Yes, I've looked at the docs for that directive and it is currently set as:
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
One html-file looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>ÅÄÖåäö!</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>ÅÄÖåäö</h1>
</center>
</body>
</html>
I've tried to comment out the AddDefaultCharset and instead added character
encoding information in the html/file - but it did not help :-{
I've also tried to set AddDefaultCharset to UTF-8 but it did not help.
Hmmm...

Check the AddDefaultCharset directive in httpd.conf.
