1and1 dedicated server: change German language to English

  1. [...] This doesn’t work properly (it breaks some stuff), but I’ve written up a much more elegant solution from ART which does actually [...]

  2. I called 1&1 and a guy phoned me back to say to do this and it will all be fixed, and he wasn’t lying either! You solution seems to be a very complex way of doing it…

    Vi the following file:

    /etc/sysconfig/i18n

    Make sure the file reads:

    LANG=”en_GB.UTF-8″
    SYSFONT=”latarcyrheb-sun16″

    OR

    LANG=”en_US.UTF-8″
    SYSFONT=”latarcyrheb-sun16″

    I am having similar problems with my 1and1 server.

    I don’t have a yum.repo.d file.

    Can you send me yours or tell me what repositories you are using?

    I can’t connect to the 1and1 backup servers either – can you give me any hints on what you did to get that working?

    I need the kernel source files – any idea where I can find those?

    Thanks a million!

    I also have the same problem and no yum.repo.d
    Is there some place to get this file and add it to the server?

  5. Jeremy, Spencer:

    yum.repo.d isn’t a file, it’s a directory. I don’t know why you don’t have it. Perhaps you guys have something other than a 64-bit Businesss Root server from 1and1?

    Check out the instructions that Kieran gives above. That’ll solve your problem without my long-winded solution :)
