You need to set the variables in your apache2/bin/start script, on the same line that begins with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

Here's an example:

LANG='es_ES.UTF-8' LC_ALL='es_ES.UTF-8' LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/webapps/django/apache2/lib /home/username/webapps/django/apache2/bin/httpd.worker -f /home/username/webapps/django/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -k start

Restart your Apache after making that change.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, that was it. I don't know why I couldn't make it work before, I've tried that but with a different locale (en_US) and without the '' but I might had done something wrong. Thanks a lot!
