Hi everyone... I am long-time Windows user.  Once programmed credit-card networks under Windows.  Now want to learn Linux.  Got book at Frys & installed Ubuntu 6.1 which came with it.  Smooth.  Then set up Apache 2.2.8.  Some configuration issues but it's running well now too.  Then came PHP6.  Configuration terminates with:  "Unable to detect ICU prefix ... make sure icu-config works."

Have been trying to solve this for 3 days.  Got icu4c installed but doesn't solve the problem?  Also no config-icu anywhere on icu tree.  Anyone have a solution?  Would be much appreciated.

Your version of Ubuntu is old. Here are some easy steps to getting an easy manageable server up and running.

Ubuntu 8.04

 

 

1. Go to http://www.ubuntu.com and get the latest version of Ubuntu

2. Install Ubuntu on to the computer you want as a server.

3. Go to http://www.webmin.com download the .deb file and install it.

4. Go in to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

5. Check, Apache 2 (apache2), MySQL Server (mysql-server) if you want mysql on your server

6. On the server go to https://localhost:10000/ or from a different computer https://computernameoripaddress:10000/

7. Put in the username and password and now you can easily manage Apache and/or MySQL.

 

Notes

 

Right now website software is buggy, You might have to go into the Un-used severs tab and look for Apache and MySQL there.

Your web server should work on http://localhost

Files are located in /var/www If you can't edit files in there directly do the following. To edit files open a terminal from apps > Accessories

> Terminal. Put in

sudo nautilus

enter your password for your admin account (even if it won't show up put it in exactly and click enter). A new file browser will open, Now you can go to /var/www/ and edit the files in that location

 

Okay that is really appreciated.  But right now I'm just experimenting with Ubuntu.  Success is not the primary goal yet.  But I did regress to PHP 5.2.6.  The install went smoothly this time but

I can't figure out which LoadModule to specify in apache2 configuration file?  There do not appear

to be any PHP ... so files anywhere?  Can you tell me what the specific name of the php load module is under Ubuntu 6.1, Apache 2.2.8 and PHP 5.2.6?  Thanks.
