ubun2

I installed Ubuntu server (10.10) , LAMP, phpmyadmin and i'm trying now to run my website. It runs ok but i do have a new problem with characters like é etcetera. I don't have this problem on a netgear readynas environment and i use the same database and php scripts. I tried to manipulate the php.ini file but that had no result. In the content-type i use charset = utf-8

I started developing php on a LAMP server on my Ubuntu. It worked fine and i got neat error descriptions whenever I forgot a semicolon or other such mistakes.

When I updated to Ubuntu 10.04 this functionality was lost and now all i get is http500 when there is some kind of error in my code, it is as if my webserver has entered a safe mode or something that hides error descriptions.

How do I get my error descriptions back?
