I have php4 installed but the other one (libapache-mod-php4) wont It says the package may be missing, damaged or obsolete. It also says it has no istallation candidate. What do I do now?
Maybe you need to do apt-get update first. Then try to apt-get install libapache-mod-php4 again. If that doesn't work, you can try to use a different mirror.
Looks like this could work in the source list file there is no ftp displayed. I only have cd (where I installed the debain system) how can I add ftp.uk etc? Could you please display all of the code?
OK, it looks like the non-US part didn't work. That's OK. There is not much in there anyway. You can delete "non-US" from the line that you added to sources.list. That should take care of the errors that you saw.
Right now it really doesn't matter because everything else was OK.
Now you can try to apt-get install libapache-mod-php4 again. Hopefully it will get the package from the ftp site instead of your CD.
If it still tries to get it from the CD, you can comment out (add #) the lines related to your CD's in sources.list and apt-get update again.
