Character set in Meta header [message #30548]

I just transferred a client to LxAdmin, but now the foreign characters come out wrong. The meta in the pages says

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

While the HTTP header as sent by the server is UTF-8. The client is using Word to maintain his website, so I don't want to change all his pages to UTF-8. How can I force Apache to recognise the meta in the pages?

I found the solution myself already. It is solved by putting:

.htaccess

AddDefaultCharset Off

in the document root of the site. This re-enables meta recognition.

An other solution is to simply comment out the 'DefaultCharset UTF-8' line at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

That's is and every website will use auto recognition.

The problem of this solution is that in case you run 'yum update' and an update of httpd is deployed you may need to comment it out again.
