.. admonition:: Fixing ``UnicodeEncodeError`` for file uploads
- If you get a ``UnicodeEncodeError`` when uploading files with file names
- that contain non-ASCII characters, make sure Apache is configured to accept
- non-ASCII file names::
+ If you get a ``UnicodeEncodeError`` when uploading or writing files with
+ file names or content that contains non-ASCII characters, make sure Apache
+ is configured to support UTF-8 encoding::
export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
A common location to put this configuration is ``/etc/apache2/envvars``.
+ Alternatively, if you are :ref:`using mod_wsgi daemon mode<daemon-mode>`
+ you can add ``lang`` and ``locale`` options to the ``WSGIDaemonProcess``
+ directive::
+
+ WSGIDaemonProcess example.com lang='en_US.UTF-8' locale='en_US.UTF-8'
+
See the :ref:`unicode-files` section of the Unicode reference guide for
details.
