apache locale error?

[ghost]

Being totally new to this i followed the installation procedure up to the command vagrant up, vagrant provision does not seem to help.
Up until this error fills my console:

It looks like you or your server may be in Germany, judging by the locale error you're getting. Otherwise, I'm not quite sure why that message would be popping up.

A couple things to note / try:

• The suggestions in this SO answer: http://askubuntu.com/a/144448/88829
• Have you changed any settings inside config.yml, especially the vagrant_box setting? (What is it currently set to?)

[oxyc]

One of our developers ran into the same issue so we opted for running the following command as part of our setup. Maybe it's worth settings up in the provisioning script?

vagrant ssh -c "sudo sed -i 's/^\(AcceptEnv LANG LC_\*\)/# \1/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config"

[timdj]

I just had the same problem. Solved it here by editing my local /etc/ssh/ssh_config by commenting out the SendEnv LANG LC_
I am sure you could also do this in your ~/.ssh/config

---

actually:

error setting ownership of `/var/www/html.dpkg-new': Operation not permitted

Is another error. I solved this by adding

mount_options: ['rw', 'vers=3', 'tcp', 'nolock', "no_root_squash", "no_subtree_check"]

to config.yml under vagrant_synced_folders

[geerlingguy]

I think these issues may be best worked around with a documented solution; I can't guarantee full support for other languages out of the box, but I would love to document workarounds to make sure everything works for non-english setups!

[oxyc]

If we modify sshd_config then the server will simply ignore the users language and use english, I don't think anyone ever has the intention of trying to use their own language on a server/vm.

[geerlingguy]

@oxyc - True; that could be a good/quick fix, and if I start getting any requests to make that configurable, that could be done later.

@oxyc: Thanks for your commit!

Note: The Drupal 7 branch has not been updated (yet).

[geerlingguy]

@lmeurs - I've updated the D7 branch. Sorry about that!
