title: Postgres complaining about encoding when trying to create new database
body: <p>I installed postgres on my VM using Vagrant and Chef and when I try to create the database I keep getting this error. Not sure where to look. The user 'my_user' was created without trouble.</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE DATABASE db_mydb OWNER my_user ENCODING 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template1;
  createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  encoding UTF8 does not match locale en_US
  DETAIL:  The chosen LC_CTYPE setting requires encoding LATIN1.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The VM was initially set to en_US, and I updated it to en_US.utf8</p>
