caligula Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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.

ev5unleash Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109318-need-help-with-php6-installation-under-ubuntuapache/#findComment-560752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Firstly, you are aware that php6 is still in development, hasn't even reached alpha yet? If your sure its php6 you really won't to install, have you installed icu?

caligula Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 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.

ev5unleash Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you really want help with Ubuntu you'd go to Ubuntufourms.org. They are the experts on the OS, they will fix your problem. If not (doubt it) come back.
