|
|
-NOTE: Russian Apache will recode all attachments, even if they
|
|
|
-are binary, thus corrupting them. To fix this problem, refer to
|
|
|
-Russian Apache FAQ: http://apache.lexa.ru/faq.html#5
|
|
|
-Turn multipart form recoding off in your apache config. If you
|
|
|
-don't, you're in for mucho trouble.
|
|
|
-*****
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This howto is for people who are using Russian Apache and
|
|
|
-who use charsets other than koi8-r for their source documents.
|
|
|
-If you _do_ use KOI8-R as default encoding for all your source
|
|
|
-documents, you don't need to do anything. Otherwise, here's
|
|
|
-a very simple way to make this work.
|
|
|
+It is no longer advised to try and make SquirrelMail live in peace with
|
|
|
+RussianApache. Too many problems arise trying to make charset recoding
|
|
|
+co-exist with SquirrelMail. SM is completely capable of providing necessary
|
|
|
+charset headers, so most modern browsers will not have any problems
|
|
|
+interacting with SquirrelMail in the necessary Charset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The general idea is to tell Russian Apache that everything
|
|
|
-residing in the squirrel-mail directory is in koi8-r. This
|
|
|
-way all input submitted by users will be automagically
|
|
|
-converted by mod_charset from anything into koi8-r.
|
|
|
-Squirrel-Mail will then correctly stamp it with
|
|
|
-"Charset=koi8-r" and send off without any additional
|
|
|
-conversion.
|
|
|
+To turn off Charset Recoding of Russian Apache, use the following
|
|
|
+directive:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-There are two equally efficient ways to do it:
|
|
|
+CharsetDisable on
|
|
|
|
|
|
+You may put this directive into VirtualHost, Directory, Location, or
|
|
|
+a .htaccess file in the SquirrelMail's main directory (unless you
|
|
|
+turned off .htaccess files).
|
|
|
|
|
|
-1. THE HTTPD.CONF WAY.
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In your httpd.conf, add the following declaration for the
|
|
|
-server that handles the squirrel-mail:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<Directory /path/to/your/squirrel-mail>
|
|
|
-CharsetSourceEnc koi8-r
|
|
|
-</Directory>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Warning: If you use CharsetByExtension elsewhere, it will
|
|
|
-override the CharsetSourceEnc directive. In that case you will
|
|
|
-have to put this directive instead of the above:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<Directory /path/to/your/squirrel-mail>
|
|
|
-CharsetByExtension koi8-r .php
|
|
|
-</Directory>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It is advised to use the CharsetSourceEnc declaration instead
|
|
|
-of the other one. Use the CharsetByExtension only if the
|
|
|
-other fails.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-2. THE .HTACCESS WAY (PREFERRED).
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Create a .htaccess file in your squirrel-mail directory. In it,
|
|
|
-simply put this line:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-CharsetSourceEnc koi8-r
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-That's it. Note the warning about the ChatsetByExtension directive
|
|
|
-in the previous section. If you used CharsetByExtension declaration
|
|
|
-elsewhere and it's active for this server, then you will have to
|
|
|
-put this line in your .htaccess instead:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-CharsetByExtension koi8-r .php
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-But again, this is only if the CharsetSourceEnc fails.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I mark this method "Preferred" simply because you don't have to
|
|
|
-restart your server if you use .htaccess. However, if you've
|
|
|
-specified "AllowOverride None" in your Server config, then you
|
|
|
-will have to go with "the httpd.conf way".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
+This is the best solution so far -- others involve so many steps that
|
|
|
+they are no longer viable.
