Getting LAMP on Ubuntu

Neko_D · 03-03-2007, 01:57 PM

I am currently working on a project that requires me to connect to a remote MySQL database. However when I run the instructions on Ubuntu Guide. I keep getting this error

Code:

darek@dual-machine:~$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libapache2-mod-auth-mysql

darek@dual-machine:~$ sudo apt-get install php4-mysql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package php4-mysql
darek@dual-machine:~$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package mysql-server

I have followed the instructions in the guide to add extra repositories. Is there a particular repository that I need to add that is not in the guide? What else could I do to make this work?

Thanks for any help

Here's the easy way (for me):

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
delete the "#" for all the sources

Code:

sudo aptitude update

Now try finding your packages.

Code:

aptitude search packagename

Then when you find them, install it. Problem solved.
