I have a Server with Fedora core 5 and Apache 2.2.2. I have different site
with different text encoding (UTF-8, windows-1252 and other...): how can
configure apache for encoding all type of format?

Best regards

Andrea

if you know in advance which files have which encoding you can use

AddDefaultCharset utf-8

which can modify the default for a particular vhost or set of files.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mo...ddefaultcharset

similarly
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mo...html#addcharset

AddCharset UTF-8 .html .htm

or

<Files "particular_file.html">
AddCharset UTF-8 .html
</Files>

or FilesMatch to specify groups of files, or the Directory block for
directories.

see mod_negotiation / content negotiation.
