Browser displaying page in UTF-8 instead of windows-1251

5.5k views Asked by At

I have a website, it contains html only, and there is a lot of cyrillic symbols. Browser is setting the UTF-8 encoding, instead of windows-1251, like it should be. So, english letters displays fine, but every cyrillic symbols is like ����

Here is my setup:
RHEL 6.3 (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64)
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)

Here is my .htaccess file:

Options +Includes 
AddDefaultCharset WINDOWS-1251

First lines of the page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Company name, etc</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251">

Example page on pastebin or phpfiddle for those who don't have access to pastebin

So, charset is set everywhere, and if I mannualy change the encoding in the browser to windows-1251 - it displays just fine, but autodetect sets the utf-8, and I don't know why.
If it helps - site was hosted on Sun OS 5.10 before.

Thanks for any help.

I commented out the following line in httpd.conf, restarted httpd and everything displays correct now:

AddDefaultCharset utf-8
