Install Tool: add example for systemLocale
0%
Description
The Install Tool requires to make an entry into the field systemLocale. However there is not example how to do it. The link to the PHP page is hard to understand. The text should be enhanced with a working example what to enter here. The LINUX variable should be mentioned here.
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
[SYS][systemLocale]
String: locale used for certain system related functions, e.g. escaping shell commands. If problems with filenames containing special characters occur, the value of this option is probably wrong.
See http://forum.typo3.org/index.php/t/203671/
This is the error message in the Install Tool:
System locale not set on UTF-8 file system
$GLOBALS[TYPO3_CONF_VARS][SYS][UTF8filesystem] is set, but $GLOBALS[TYPO3_CONF_VARS][SYS][systemLocale] is empty. Make sure a valid locale which supports UTF-8 is set.

I actually have this on my list for install tool improvements.
The supported locales should be retrieved by the command "locale -a" from the command line.
I imagine a wizard that shows these locales, such that you can select the intended locale.
Other than that, I'm still not sure what the really correct setting is.
Consider a server that is configured to use de_AT.utf8 locale, but you host sites with languages like fr_FR.utf8 and en_GB.utf8.
What is the correct setting for this parameter then?
I guess I've to search the core for the usages to get a better picture.

This is not as trivial as it sounds because the current implementation only allows static values for dropdowns but in this case we need dynamic values.
