@Ken,
For that, you can easily get XAMPP installed.

Hello,

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 in my desktop. Now I want to install MySQL, Apache & PHP from the Ubuntu standard CD because I have no internet connection at home. Is that possible? what command would be appropriate to get from the CD not from the repositories?

first you need to make sure you have installed GUI using the following command

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

after installing from command line use the following command to start GUI

startx

How come I always get “cannot bring up eth0″ error after trying to restart /etc/init.d/networking/? I can’t even connect to the internet. Hardware check recognises my ethernet card.

Hi,
I’ve got this installed and running. I have found many guides on how to get this far but cannot find anything that tells me how to start publishing content. I’m quite familiar with IIS but have no idea where to start with apache. How do I move content I’ve already created over to the apache server and start running it from there? can someone please point me to the next step? Thanks.

Hey admin,

Just wondering, since there’s new versions of the software on the installation disc, how would I go about updating them? Would it be as simple as sudo apt-get update apache or something?

Thanks man,

Dom

Hi,
I have a ML350 G3 with 5x72gb scsi disks running off of a SmartArray 532 in RAID 5 configuration. I’m trying to get Ubuntu 8.10 server installed. The setup seems to run flawlessly, but once setup is complete and asks for a reboot,I get this:

“Attempting to boot from CD-ROM”
“Attempting to boot from hard drive (c:)”

I’ve looked through some forms but can’t seem to find a solution that works. At this point I am not sure if it is a RAID controller issue or Linux issue. (The server worked fine when Windows 2003 was installed)

I tried the aforementioned method of booting to the live cd and setting the partition but I always get the following:

Could not find boot device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
any suggestions?

I’ve also tried this as a RAID 1 with 2x36gb drives and am geting the same result

Hello, I’m a new user of ubuntu, and I have a question, when you modify the network interfaces as described above in the tutorial, how do you save that file, exit and make the command line appear. Thank you.

After the initial install was complete, I had to boot into rescue mode, reinstall Grub from the commandline with the correct partition. “grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0p0? did the trick for me and the system

On a MSI-7220 with an nForce SATA RAID and a primary IDE PATA drive for boot I also had to boot into rescue mode using the Install CD, but I had it reinstall GRUB automatically and specified “hd0″ as the target and it worked perfectly after that. Annoying, I went through a couple iterations of swapping drives, mucking with BIOS, all to no avail. I think the boot installer is broken in 8.10 for the initial install.
