SOLVED Set a default locale for all users when accessing terminal/ssh

[garbintecnologia]

Hi, I have a little problem that might be a locale issue.

When I access a file with the nano via terminal and this file has accent, it is not shown.

when querying the locale, the following is returned (access via user account):




So I set the root account locale to pt_BR.utf8




I would like to know if it is possible to assign this pt_BR.utf8 locale to all other users and to new users.

If so, how could I do it?

I would like a solution for this, as it affects editing data with accentuation via terminal.

Thank's

I think you can set it in /etc/locale.conf

 

[hmaddy]

you can set or modify locale here /etc/locale.conf

I set it in the /etc/locale.conf path but for other cPanel users it doesn't seem to have any updates

This is with ec2-user or root (works)


With another cPanel user:

I think that changes in /etc/locale.conf will take effect after reboot only .

I changed this file as root, restarted the server, but the change had no effect on other users.

Hello garbintecnologia! If you set LC_ALL to match LANG, do the users reflect the desired locale?

Actually LANG is blank. As in the image below.


But if I log in as ec2-user or root the following is displayed:


Maybe I forgot to mention, I'm using Cloudlinux 8, I don't know if that can influence anything.

I understand; however, as the root user, if you set LC_ALL to match the value set for LANG, do cPanel users begin showing the proper locale?

Does not show to users.

What I noticed is that if I give the command export LANG="pt_BR.UTF-8" the locale is changed as in the image below.



But if I restart the server the "default" settings come back.

Issue resolved.

The issue itself was linked to CloudLinux and CageFS.

I received the following support from the staff:

Please try to add the locale configuration file (/etc/locale.conf) to /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp and then run:
cagefsctl --force-update && cagefsctl --remount-all

After that, there was an error not finding the /etc/locale.conf path, so I was instructed to do the following:

Please try to create the following file:
# nano /etc/cagefs/conf.d/locale.cfg
[custom]
comment=locale.conf
paths=/etc/locale.conf

And run: cagefsctl --force-update

Now everything works as expected, even after restarting the server.

Thank you all.
