Setting up an apache server.

[lszanto]

I am very new to kubuntu/linux and I want to setup an apache server with php, mysql and apache so in otherwords L.A.M.P. I have browsed for hours searching for a result but haven't found anything and when trying the commands suggested like:

sudo apt-get install apache

or

aptitude install apache

all it comes up with is

Reading package lists...Done
Building dependancy tree...Done
E: Could not find package "apache"

Please help if you can, and thanks in advance.

I tried it but it still comes up with the package missing, I am reinstalling kubuntu as last time I was not connected to the internet when I installed it so I believe this might have restricted access to a few packages.

Re: Setting up an apache server.

Reinstalling will not add access to any package.

Ok, first the easy answer.

Type:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

Notice the 2 at the end .

If you really want to install the apache (without 2) package, you need to enable the universe repository. Reinstalling will not do it. Please read:

https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/kubuntu...ositories.html

The important facts are in enabling additional repositories section. But the whole chapter will be an useful read.

But, anyway, you probably want to install apache2.

Re: Setting up an apache server.

I managed to reinstall kubuntu and apache is working but when I type

apt-get install phpmyadmin

It says that the package phpmyadmin could not be found, is there a way to install it manually or am I doing the command wrong?

Re: Setting up an apache server.

Have a look at this site. Pick your version and then server install (HTML or PDF).
These are all very good guides.

Re: Setting up an apache server.

Have you enabled universe ?

Do you understand how package management work?

Did you read the above link?

phpmyadmin is in the Universe repositorie.
