    Hello,

    recently i move my website to another (vps) but i am seeing now some funny symbols in my pages for quotes and some spaces and hyphens.

    see the following link
    http://www.alyaspk.com/qtest.html

    when i again upload to other server it shows up fine.

    i think it's some thing to do on my end probably with apache. my new vps have

    centos 5
    apache 2.2.3

    any help will be highly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance.

    It might be character encoding issue. Check if Apache "AddDefaultCharset" is same on both the servers.

    Yes, i had fixed the problem already, just to let you know the guys problem was with AddDefaultCharset , it was forcing it as utf-8

    Thank you.

    In the Apache configuration, check the setting called "AddDefaultCharset", is it utf-8. Depending on which language you are using, this needs to be changed.
