Z-Push -> apache german Umlaute (öäü) are not displayed correctly

allcom

With Z-Push i had the problem that "umlaute(öäü) were not displayed correctly
This character was represented as ‘?’

Workaround:
edit the File: z-push/backend/kopano/kopano.php
and change setlocale to german:

//setlocale to UTF-8 in order to support properties containing Unicode characters
//setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8");
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "de_DE.UTF-8");

Solution :
determinate the OS LANG:

locale

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

edit the File: /etc/apache2/envvars

## The locale used by some modules like mod_dav
export LANG=C
## Uncomment the following line to use the system default locale instead:
. /etc/default/locale

export LANG

Hi @allcom,

Where were the umlauts not displayed correctly (emails, appointments, contacts…)?

Which versions of Z-Push and Kopano are you using?

Were the umlauts displayed correctly in webapp without your workaround?

Hello,
the problem was exclusively with Z-Push email’s suppject (body messages ok), contacts. (Version 2.6.1)
webapp was finaly ok.
The problem was the default apache configuration.
In the default configuration is LANG C

In z-push/backend/kopano/kopano.php is the default hard coded

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8");

With this setting is “öäü” with the exchange connection by iOS and Andriod is this “???”

The solution is the correct apache configuration with the correct LANG OS settings, or change the hard coded

Hello togheter, this solved my long not solved problem with nginx on ubuntu 18. change locale in:
