<!-- 015 [search_COE]:36: Unknown locale `fr' -->

<!-- 000 [search_COE]:36: SQLPrepare() failed with -1 -->

You can use locale -a to get a list of the locales installed on the Linux server. From one of our servers it looks like you might need to either use the locale fr_FR as there are separate locales for several of the French speaking countries, or create an alias for 'fr' to point to the one you want.
