How can I Change the charset?

[Arnaldo Bento]

Hello 

Because nobody answered to the previous topic on 
this subject I decided to create a new with new heading.



How can I set the Fedora or web server to use the
charset=iso-8859-1  ?
 
- Can I edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change "AddDefaultCharset"
to that value?
- Are there another way to do that?
- Or I must change it in the windows computers?

Thanks in advance.

By default Apache on Fedora Core serves website with UTF-8 charset. 
If the files are created with a different charset you get displayed 
not what you want. Either create and edit the files on the Windows. 
host too with UTF-8 charset or change the setting on the Fedora Apache 
server host.

$ grep -n "AddDefaultCharset" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

will tell you the line the charset is defined.
