installing LAMP on Ubuntu virtual box

Juc1 · 04-13-2013, 05:16 PM

Hi all,

I have installed Ubuntu 12 and SSH server on my virtual box but when I try to install apache2 I get

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2
Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
$ ping security.ubuntu.com
ping: unknown host security.ubuntu.com
$ ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
$

This thread says I should edit resolv.conf but my resolv.conf says do not edit =

Code:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 0.0.0.0
$

Any ideas please?

Thank you...

I've been editing my resolv for years, and it usually works for this matter.

I usually add the modem/router, and first and secondary dns servers from my isp.

save it and keep a copy for later.

Code:

nameserver 10.0.0.138
nameserver 61.9.211.33
search BigPond

OK thanks but I am having trouble editing /etc/resolv.conf:

Code:

warning: changing a read only file
"/etc/resolv.conf" E166: Cannot open linked file for writing

And even if I could edit it I have read that it can be rewritten with reboot. Does this suggest an alternative to editing resolv.conf? If so I have attached what I think is the important part so can anyone please translate this ie what I need to do?

Thanks...
