Both my master and node are now showing this error. How do I fix it please?

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_TERMINAL = "iTerm2",
LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_GB.UTF-8").
 
Seems like there is something wrong with your locale settings, try fixing them via:

Code:
dpkg-reconfigure locales

Can you try the following?


Code:
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
dpkg-reconfigure locales

Yes that works OK now, what happened there then, that is from the debian ISO installer. Thank You
 
Hmmm still having a few issues here, if i type date in the console it shows the correct time (UK time) but the gateway GUI shows 1 hour ahead, and delivered emails are also timed 1 hour ahead of what they should be, how do I fix this please?
 
You should be able to set your time zone via the GUI: 'Configuration' > 'Network/Time'
 
Yep that was set correctly, it seems it's the Mac Mini I am on playing up, it's got confused as to where it is time zone wise as it travels to and from France LoL, i am having to set it manually for it to correctly locate in the UK, thank you for the response though :)
