Help With Linux Apache Install

[snowman4839]

I'm trying to install Apache HTTP Server on Ubuntu and I've unzipped the files but when I try to configure it, I get the error...

snowman@snowman4839:~/httpd-2.2.9$ ./configure

and the config log says...

It was created by configure, which was

generated by GNU Autoconf 2.62.  Invocation command line was

Any particular reason your building from source? All php packages are available via apt-get.

[snowman4839]

dude... I have NO idea what that means. I BARELY know the basics of linux so...

[trq]

You are attempting to build php from the source code. On most modern Linux's (including Ubuntu) this isn't normally required because packages are generally available through the OS's package management system.

 

Ubuntu uses apt-get which is Debian's package management system. I suggest you open a terminal and type...

 

man apt-get

 

This will give you some basic instructions on how to use the systems package management.

 

From there, I would suggest running...

 

apt-get update && apt-get install php

 

You might also want to take a look at Synaptic (which I'm sure is installed by default on Ubuntu), this is a simpler (gui) interface to the package management system.
