RE: Unicode Chars not working

[Chris me <phunction@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I rechecked the response headers, interesting thing is the server that works is just sending content-type: text/thml

 

but the one that does not work is sending  content-type: text/html and charset=UTF-8

even though it is sending the charset after I un-commented it in charset.conf.

 

So why does the old server work properly even though it does not explicitly set the charset, but the new server does not, even when it is set?

 

Is it the linux system itself that might be serving the file to apache weird?

 

One thing I did notice in the headers, is the old server has

transfer-encoding: chunked

but the new server does not have that, it has

Vary: accept-encoding

Seeing how it's an exact copy from the other server and the other server is fine I would think that's more of a Apache configuration isn't it?

 

The content itself does not specify a character set.

Hi,

I am moving my site from one server to another, both are apache 2. The files where tarred and zipped on one linux server and copied to another linux server.

 

On the new server, any pages with a Unicode character is getting served with the black diamond and question mark.

 

I enabled AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 on the new server it does not make a difference.

 

What else do I need to change?

 

Are you sure your content is not producing html header with the wrong charset? I would inspect it.
