Hello , i got a VPS from EV1, with RH Enterprise, and there is a strange bug:

I am from french Canada and all my french sites include special characters (like these: é, ç, à, è, etc).

Since i uploaded a couple of website with these characters, they all lack them and show only squares and/or remove the following characters.

Is there a special setting in VPS/RedHat to include french Canadian / French fonts?

thanks for your much appreciated help

Default charset for Apache and PHP are UTF 8 . You need to have it to ISO-8859-1 for those characters to be available.

I did that, but take a look at this:

The upper part (is OK, adding ISO-8859-1 to httpd.conf worked)
But the lower part...and anything related to php and mysql is all wrong:

Ya tengo registrado mi dominio y actualizaré mis DNS.

Any Suggestions?
