Hello , I am new to Alfresco and I am trying to install alfresco in my debian server(via ssh access) following the installation guide. However, the installation stops and shows me this error :

Error: There has been an error. initdb.bin: encoding mismatch The encoding you selected (UTF8) and the encoding that the selected  locale uses (LATIN1) do not match. This would lead to misbehavior in  various character string processing functions. Rerun initdb.bin and either  do not specify an encoding explicitly, or choose a matching combination.

I tried updating the locales of the server but still the issue exists. How do I fix this?

What I did was to follow the instructions here to change the Tomcat port. After that it worked. Thanks  for helping me out.
