Apache and locales (Apache PHP locale gettext) please help

[wetter]

Hello everybody,

I have a strange problem running apache and php. date() amongst others gives me english month names where i need different ones set by setlocale().

I followed the Gentoo localization guide:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/de/guide-localization.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml

and this seems to work:


# locale -a
C
de_CH.utf8
de_DE
de_DE@euro
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE.iso885915@euro
de_DE.utf8
deutsch
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
fr_CH.utf8
german
it_CH.utf8
POSIX



# locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8

# date +%B
Juni

this is fine "Juni" is german for june.

But in Apache / PHP it is different:

there i have:
