Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Getting strange error when i tried to upload my portrait

Check for the 'LANG' environment variable for the user  of the server process. If it is set to en_US(or something similar) it screws up installation. I had to reinstall the whole thing as there were too many strings attached to get the packages working with the existing installation or to patch things up. If you find a better solution you are welcome to post 😉
