CentOS - UTF-8 - unicode start

  • It's been observed that on CentOS the default configuration may not allow zimbra to start.
  • You may see many /bin/unicode_start processes running that take up memory and CPU

Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n from something like this:

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

To something like this (no references to UTF-8):

LANG="en_US" 
SUPPORTED="en_US:en" 
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" 

Or, a solution that seems to work for most:

  Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n
  Remove or comment out all lines that contain UTF-8
