Search options

Ok, I give. After finding nothing obvious on the local Kubuntu setup I decided to listall on shared hosting at site5 where I run lots of other stuff. Everything seems to have installed fine. I added the es_MX.mo and es_MX.po files through the GUI. No errors. Created a new user with Spanish as their default. When I log on as that user it says they are in Spanish but everything is still English. I haven't done a thorough permissions search--just looked in the apache log and find no errors. As it works just like it did on Kubuntu, um, clearly I just need a lobotomy.

Let's look at this again. Here is the current ls -lRa. Unless I am blind, everything in this tree is either owned by www-data and www-data has write permission or it is in group www-data and the www-data group has write permission.

So, that rules out a permission problem assuming apache is running as www-data in group www-data. From ps -g www-data or ps -u www-data, I get:
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
7276 ?        00:00:00 apache2
7277 ?        00:00:00 apache2
7278 ?        00:00:00 apache2
7279 ?        00:00:00 apache2
7280 ?        00:00:00 apache2

9014 ?        00:00:00 apache2
9015 ?        00:00:00 apache2

Is gettext installed?
  gettext is /usr/bin/gettext

from php5 -m, gettext is in the list. But, of course, that is shell php5. So, finally, from a phpinfo(); call, I get
    GetText Support   enabled

So, what am I missing/not checking?

I figure I must be missing something obvious.

Here is what is in /var/www/actg/lang/installed_languages.inc
$installed_languages = array (
        0 => array ('code' => 'en_GB', 'name' => 'English', 'encoding' => 'iso-8
859-1'),
                array ('code' => 'en_US', 'name' => 'English (US)', 'encoding' =
> 'iso-8859-1'),
                array ('code' => 'es_MX', 'name' => 'Spanish (MX)', 'encoding' =
> 'iso-8859-1'),
        );

Here is what an ls -lr from /var/www/actg/lang shows:

No errors from debug or in the apache log.

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I created a new user with Spanish as default and when I log in as them it says Spanish. The bad news is that it isn't Spanish.

But, that is something different to try to figure out. Let me see what more I can find.
