<![CDATA[LAMP does not activate locales?]]>I installed MRBS with a LAMP application, it works fine. However, the dates are not displayed in French while the rest of the localization works. The locales are not activated in the container LAMP. Is there a workaround?

MRBS is a free, GPL, web application using PHP and MySQL/pgsql for booking meeting rooms or other resources.

I have reopened it.

# locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

I wonder if it makes more sense to add the most common locales or make it configurable.

@jeau for your use-case, is it sufficient if you can generate the locale on your own and set it within the php app itself as an env variable, or does it have to be set system-wide?

As said @nebulon the problem is caused by locales that are not available in the LAMP app.

@nebulon have created an issue at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/lamp-app/issues/14

$disable_automatic_language_changing = 1;
$default_language_tokens = "fr";

I then get french:

Okay, I could try to propose a solution before reporting the problem!
I could also ask on this forum

He could have done the work to add the locales and you test and accept the merge request when it's done. Everybody benefits from forking. I should have been a bit more clear on that.

We have to add this, maybe even in the app base image, so all apps have it.

I have created an issue at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/lamp-app/issues/14

@murgero please do not recommend creating forks of app packages, since that also means that any installation from the fork won't easily get updates.

The timezone is configured in my application and the French translation is correct. On another server (except Cloudron) MRBS works without any problem. In fact, PHP setlocale has no effect.

Cloudron terminal:

# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

Another server:

% locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
french
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
fr_FR.iso88591
fr_FR.iso885915@euro
fr_FR.utf8
fr_FR.utf8@euro
POSIX

(If the .htaccess file does not exist, create it.)

Then add:

php_value date.timezone 'Europe/Paris'

Of course, change the region to the one you need (I assumed Europe/Paris because you said French date. (Also, in that application, if you were talking about the dates not being displayed in the french language, it might not translate dates, or the french translation is not complete.)
