Error on filename encoding (utf-8)

I’ve migrate a website from hostgator to digital ocean and I have filenames like: 11-01-03-La-Gr#U00e1fica-Completa.jpg and in hostgator I’ve see it like: 11-01-03-La-Gráfica-Completa.jpg

I’ve tried to change it within the console like: convmv -r -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 . convmv -r -f ascii -t UTF-8 . and so… But I can’t change it. I don’t know what to do, the are almost 3000 files like that. Thanks

I’ve made that, and…

user@server:/var/www/mysite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2013/10# locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=es_ES.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.utf8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ALL=

user@server:/var/www/mysite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2013/10# ls
11-01-03-La-Gr#U00e1fica-Completa.jpg

The first 3 lines are the problem? the last one? I can’t figure out what is the problem.

First, see what your current setting is by running the command locale , then set and export your LANG environment variable. For example in bash:

## look at the current locale
locale
## set the local to Spanish
LANG=es_ES.utf8
export LANG
## look at the locale now
locale

NOTE: this is a temporary fix/test. If it works for you, then you’ll have to do the next step and configure either your system or your account to use it.

Thanks to both. Now I can see it right in terminal / console… but apache is still with the error… And I’ve added the line:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

or

AddDefaultCharset es_ES.UTF-8

Here’s a summary from a solution by Sakshi’s Oracle blog that works for Ubuntu:

sudo locale-gen es_ES.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

then edit /etc/default/locale and add LC_ALL and LANGUAGE with values “es_ES.UTF-8”, like this

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8

Now try the locale command again.
