Hi, I solved the problem. The LANG variable in shell is the important thing. Only LANG=de_DE is not enough. I had to specify the charset too: LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15 works for me. Only "export LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15" works only for the actual shell process. All running httpd processes are using the charset which was set before. So stop httpd complete, export LANG, then start httpd. The exported LANG variable is set as long as you are logged in the shell. Do you logout, the charset set by system start becomes actual. So put the export LANG... in your distributions profile file/directory and restart the system. In slackware this is in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh: LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15 Hope this helps someone.
