LAMP problem on ubuntu8.04

2beahacker · 10-06-2008, 06:33 PM

Hello,eveyone!
I have just installed apache and mysql on ubuntu8.04.But when I start the machine,apache didn't start automatically.
Because when I type " /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart"
I got the error :

Code:

httpd not running, trying to start
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Does this mean I should run as root?
And the MYSQL problem,I try to start mysql server with
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -user=mysql&
Unluckily,error comes again!

Code:

$ nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: 380: cannot create /usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.err: Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `/usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.pid': Permission denied
eval: 1: cannot create /usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.err: Permission denied
STOPPING server from pid file /usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.pid
tee: /usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.err: Permission denied
081007 07:23:10  mysqld ended
tee: /usr/local/mysql/var/dear-laptop.err: Permission denied

But befor I have running
cd /usr/local/mysql
chown -R root .
chown -R mysql var
chown -R mysql var/.
chgrp -R mysql .
Maybe I can't express the problem clearly with my poor English.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Did you install them from source (as I see /usr/local in your post)?

2beahacker · 10-06-2008, 07:18 PM

Yes,I make it myself

klearview · 10-06-2008, 07:27 PM

Any particular reason for this? Why the packages from repositories are not suitable? If you install them from repos one command will give you installed, running and configured Apache and MySQL.

Sorry,my English is poor.I mean I install them from files with .tar.gz
not from apt-get

Again, why from source?

Unless you have a particular reason for this installing Apache and MySQL on Ubuntu from source is a huge waste of time when 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server apache2' gives you fully configured, running and functional servers.

2beahacker · 10-06-2008, 08:16 PM

But if I use 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server apache2',I can't decide which directory to be installed or configured.
So,can anyone solve above problem?

i believe with apt you can specify switches. or you can manually edit the conf. to specify a different file locations.

2beahacker · 10-06-2008, 08:57 PM

But once I had installed them with apt ,it didn't make me more comfortable.I met many problems ,too.

Kingtiger01 · 10-06-2008, 10:29 PM

hmm, then i would go to Linux from scratch or Gentoo instead. as they both use source packages instead of Binary's. Ubuntu build system is poor for Source Packages.

Everytime it's complaining about Permission. I think you better check your permission first. Also post the steps you took to configure in ubuntu.

Make sure you have mysql user/group and apache or httpd user/group, or you could use user: nobody group: nogroup.
