Tutorial for Certificate Signing Request (CSR Request) based on the geotrust knowledge base.

Type the following command at the prompt for a non-encrypted key:

Fix locale issues in Mac OS X

I faced a problem with locales in terminal on Mac OS X Lion. Midnight Commander didn’t want to display Cyrillic symbols in filenames and directories, on my remote media-Server I’ve been getting messages like “warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8)”. The solution is fairly simple – add these two lines to ~/.bash_profile (by default is seems to be missing, so create the file):

1
2
3
4
ids:~ id$ cat .bash_profile 
 
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
