connect to postgresql database with different locale


I had this issue today. Except my error was for en_GB:

The database was initialized with LC_COLLATE "en_GB.UTF-8",  which is not recognized by setlocale().

I solved it with

localedef -f UTF-8 -i en_GB en_GB.UTF-8

You will need to change it depending on your language setting.

Restart the postgresql service after.
