Installed Ubuntu and cant install web server
I recently installed ubuntu to my vm workstation and keep getting a blinking cursor
i know its the server version and thats the norm but how do i install the web and file servers |
If you are just seeing a blinking cursor, something went wrong with the install. It should boot to a login prompt.

If your install did work then to install Apache you will need to type something like
Code:
apt-get install apache2 For Debian-based distributions, of which Ubuntu is one, you use apt-get or aptitude to install and remove packages as well as to upgrade existing packages. You can also use apt-cache to search for packages. I suggest you read up on these commands if you want to use Ubuntu in future as they are used regularly. (I have to confess that I always use apt-get and have not used aptitude so I don't know the differences between the two but suffice it to say that you should endeavour to use one or the other and not both) |
okay thanks I just started a class and its only four weeks long
which distro would be better for someone who only works with win 2008 R2 |

If you installed Ubuntu Server then there should have been an option to install several different servers
including LAMP which encompasses apache, mysql, PHP and others. |
Hi. Aptitude is a front-end friendly for dpkg or apt-get.
Is easy to use (not at the begining) and really versatile. It may take some time to understand how to work (if you use other commands like dpkg or apt-get, during years), but is a good tool for package management. Try it. Have you a nice day. |
