Re: [webmin-l] Re: Using utf-8 encode/decode in Webmin but fail, how to fix?

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Another thing you could try to make totally sure
that the LANG variable is not responsible is to edit
/etc/webmin/start and remove any lines refering to
LANG, and then re-start with

/etc/webmin/stop ; /etc/webmin/start

Also, if you are using an older version of Webmin, take
out any PERLIO lines in that same file.
