LC_TYPE: cannot change locale

Each time when I install a fresh CentOS 6.x server, I will get the following error when I ssh into the server.

-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory


After searching and found the reason was because my server’s environment was no configured with the default locale. The solution I get from this webpage was to edit the /etc/environment file and enter the following two lines. You may set your own preferred language locale.

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8


Another problem solved and remembered.
