If you get a UnicodeEncodeError
===============================
If you're taking advantage of the internationalization features of Django (see
:ref:`topics-i18n`) and you intend to allow users to upload files, you must
ensure that the environment used to start Apache is configured to accept
non-ASCII file names. If your environment is not correctly configured, you
will trigger ``UnicodeEncodeError`` exceptions when calling functions like
``os.path()`` on filenames that contain non-ASCII characters.
To avoid these problems, the environment used to start Apache should contain
settings analogous to the following::
export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
Consult the documentation for your operating system for the appropriate syntax
and location to put these configuration items; ``/etc/apache2/envvars`` is a
common location on Unix platforms. Once you have added these statements
to your environment, restart Apache.
