Solaris or Linux locale problem

Starting with Version 4.1, PresSTORE relies on Linux and Solaris Systems on the en_US.UTF-8 locale. Because of that, the locale is set in the script start-server in the PresSTORE folder. This setting influences PresSTORE only, this is not a server-wide setting. Please see man locale for more info about the Unix locale subsystem. A problem may be detected when setting this locale, this may have one out of two reasons: 1. The locale is not installed To our knowledge, only some older Solaris installations do not always install that locale. Whether it is installed can be checked with the command locale -a In case en_US.UTF-8 is not listed in the output, please install that locale from the Solaris install source. 2. A preset LC_xxx variable blocks the setting PresSTORE controls the locale setup using the LANG environment variable. It is possible to overwrite that with a preset global LC_xxx variable, see man locale. If such a preset LC variable exists, the locale setting in the start-server script fails. You can check the existence of such a variable with the command env | grep LC_ In case there is a preset LC_ variable on your system and you get a locale related error from the start-server script, please add the following lines before the line 35 (i.e.: LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export LANG) in the start-server script. unset LC_CTYPE unset LC_NUMERIC unset LC_TIME unset LC_COLLATE unset LC_MONETARY unset LC_MESSAGES unset LC_ALL export LC_CTYPE export LC_NUMERIC export LC_TIME export LC_COLLATE export LC_MONETARY export LC_MESSAGES export LC_ALL That should overcome the problem. Note that this change affects PresSTORE only, this is not a system wide change. We have received reports stating these steps also work with OS X.
