Editing the httpd.conf File on IHS and HP-Apache2


The IHS and HP-Apache2 servers may ship with the default character encoding setting AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 in the httpd.conf configuration file. For nonresident user interface languages, this setting makes some static content such as launch pop-ups, About boxes, and help pages display incorrectly. Follow the procedure below to reset this for non-Western languages.

To modify the httpd.conf file

  1. If using IHS, navigate to the httpd.conf file, usually located under /usr/IBMIHS/conf. For HP-Apache2, the directory is /opt/hpapache2/conf.
  2. Open httpd.conf with a text editor such as vi.
  3. Locate the line AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 and comment it out by placing a pound sign "#" character at the beginning of the line.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Restart the server.
