Django Syncdb Create superuser ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8 [Solved]

While setting up a new remote server for a new Django Application I am currently working on, I encountered following error as entered yes to create superuser after I entered syncdb command for the first time.

?

1	ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

Here is the full trace:

(django1.5)[root@DXDS2102 testdjango]# python manage.py syncdb Creating tables ... Creating table auth_permission Creating table auth_group_permissions Creating table auth_group Creating table auth_user_groups Creating table auth_user_user_permissions Creating table auth_user Creating table django_content_type Creating table django_session Creating table django_site   You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined. Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

As I had centOS server for my Django Application, I entered following commands which actually solved this problem:

?

1 2	export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

After running the above command I again did syncdb but Django didn't asked me about creating superuser. So for manually creating a superuser, I entered following command:

?

1	python manage.py createsuperuser

The django superuser was created without the error of "ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8".
