html doc rendering problem via apache

[Scott Gose]

In my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, I made the following changes:

# AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

And it worked!  Thank you _so_ much!  :-)

I guess my next question is... is this a bug or should I have known to do this?
