Hi Mate,

That is exactly what I am trying to do.

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?

Thanks for your time

James

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.

You can find a list of mirrors here:

http://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Just find one close to you (that isn't the one that you are using now), and add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list

You will probably want to comment out the mirror that you are using now (put a # at the beginning of that line)

Then do apt-get update

Then try to install mod_php4 again.

Hi Mate,

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?

Thanks

James

Try adding this to sources.list (assuming you have sarge aka stable)

Code:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free non-US
If you are using etch or sid, you can change stable to testing or unstable.

Then do

Code:
apt-get update
That will update your package list so that you can get the latest versions of packages.

Now try to install mod-php again

Hi mate I think we are getting a bit closer....

I done this:

#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0 _Sarge_ - i386
Binary - Linux Format DVD 70]/ unstable contrib main

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main
contrib non-free non-US

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib



and this came up when I performed the apt-get update:

debian:~# apt-get update
Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main
Packages
Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main
Release

- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these
problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been
ignored, or old ones used instead.


I tried stable and unstable and it both came up similar.

Thanks for your time

James

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.

Hi Mate,

You are a genius! Thanks its now working.

I just have managed to get file sharing across my network. I dont suppose you know anything about that do you?

I have Windows XP Networked to my Debian (sarge) and I want to be able to access files from Sarge on my Windows PC.

Let me know

Thanks again!

Glad it's working.

I probably can't help you with the file sharing thing.

I think you can do it with samba, but I have heard it's really hard to set up. There is probably an easier way. Maybe ssh.

Start a new thread, I'm sure somone can help.
