[SOLVED] No color in konsole, but color on remote shell (screen) :-O

While working via ssh/screen on a remote server, i saw symfony has nice colored output. I'd like to ask: how can i enable the same colors on my local machine? [Seraching the wiki+forum did not help]

Screenshot showing a screen session running in my Konsole (Kde 3.5.10):

The same command's output on my computer, in the same Konsole:

TIA!

Try editing your Konsole profile. There's a "environment variables" button on the first tab, which shows "TERM=xterm" for me. See if changing that to "TERM=xterm-color" or "TERM=xterm-256color" fixes it.

Thanks for the answer byte!

I've only found similar settings on tab 3:

echo $TERM returns xterm-256color, but i still see the same "colorless" output.

Turns out I had to enable "extension=posix.so" in php.ini
