How do I make Apache 2.2 recognise my web pages written in windows charset-1252
I have just signed up for the FastHosts dedicated server package that uses CentOS-5 (with Apache 2.2). This server package does not display all the characters of our web pages (created in Windows) correctly. This is a problem we have had before with a GlobalServers dedicated server. I understand the issue is the setting in AddDefaultCharset or AddCharset. Please could someone help me with the actual setting change in the httpd.conf file. Our webpages are created using windows-1252. I do not have the code snippet - but I need to instruct the FastHosts engineers with the setting change.
Many thanks

Thank you for getting back - do you mean change the AddDefaultCharset setting to read AddDefaultCharset windows-1252 ?
Thanks

Thanks - I understand that. The FastHosts Linux engineer is not available until this afternoon and I urgently need to get the files to display correctly. I can get access via SSH (putty) to root (on the CentOS server IP address) - but I can't find the Apache httpd.conf file. Can you help me to (a) locate the file, and (b) make the necessary change/addition.
Thanks

I have now edited the httpd.conf file (with the help of our Linux programmer) and changing the AddDefaultCharset to windows-1252 has worked (together with changing the default language from nl to en.
Many thanks for your help. I feel I am becoming a Linux programmer by degree...

The solution also involved changing the language from nl to en.
sry, was out for lunch. Once you start working with linux you will never go back to windows. :=)

That's true - but I have another question about HTAccess - can you help at all ?
