Postgres locale error
Thank you very much to Kamal Nasser on the Digital River forums for providing the correct answer (the following commands below requires root privileges):
$ locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 $ dpkg-reconfigure localesI think this is the correct link to the original answer: the Digital Ocean site is not responding so I can't check it. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/postgresql-and-rails-4
After trying ardochhigh's answer:
$ sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure localesthe problem persisted
After that I saw this answer that solved the problem for me:

Aparently LAGUAGE shell variable is not set:
$ sudo bash$ export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"$ echo 'LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"' >> /etc/default/locale$ echo 'LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"' >> /etc/default/locale$ # next: logout and login
