I have just installed Fedora Core 2 test 3. After publishing my website (www.tictocdoc.com) to the server, I noticed that for some unknown reason, Apache is changing every single and double quotation mark into question marks. This did not happen with RH 9. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas how to fix this strange behavior??

Thanks in advance!!!

The website link you gave just shows the apache test page, so I can't verify what you're seeing, but are you sure it's apache, and not your browser, showing question marks in place of quotes? Many times I've seen non-ASCII quotes (that is, not the quotes you get when you press shift-singlequote on a standard US keyboard) that get turned into question marks or other garbage by various browsers. If it really is apache, it might be for the same reason; if there's a non-ASCII character in the HTML, apache may be filtering it.

Hello:

Thanks for the reply. I have still been trying different things to see if I could fix the problem myself. The site is temporarily down. I am pretty sure that it is Apache that is causing the problem. I have had these sites up for over 3 years on a Windoze 2003 server system without seeing this behavior. I wasn't until I transferred the sites over to the apache server that I noticed the changes. Is there any way to tell apache not to change a " ' " or " " " to "?" ? You mentioned that apache could be filtering the non-Ascii characters so that makes me think that there might be a way to tell apache not to do so.

Thanks for your help!!!

Try to replace your quotes with the HTML equivalent """ (without the quotes :P) to solve your problem and additionally ensure more compatibility.
