Errors on Build Your Own Debian/Ubuntu LAMP Server

Morning!

I found this: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server and followed its instructions. The first one apt-get install update is OK. I got stuck at the second one, apt-get install apache2 php4 libapache2-mod-php4

Code:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Question: Am I on the right direction? Just that the ftp site is down for the moment, and I should try it again in later time?
Any hint is appreciated!

 

Hi Till,

Thank you very much. I've been suffering for 2 days now. Thank you so much.
I have 2 questions now.

1. I could not install php5 due to:

Code:

li15-178:~# apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
apache2 is already the newest version.
Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package php5 has no installation candidate
li15-178:~#

. Any suggestion?

2. I need to install FTP, so here I found: http://www.mysql-apache-php.com/#ftpserver . Am I on the right direction?

Thanks again!

 

I tried to install the ftp server, it seems there and run but I can not connected. Like I kind confused about what username and password I should use. Is there to look at what user name is and how to reset the password. How about user root, and what is its password?

 

PHP5 is not available for Debian Sarge. You could try to install it from backports.org or dotdeb.org.

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

and

Code:

iptables -L

?

It's the same password you use to log in as root on the shell. But normally root isn't allowed to log in to FTP.

 

Thanks for your kindness. I appreciate your help.
