Apache Web Server Setup Failing during installation

[herrpommesfrite]

I am trying to upgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 and everytime the process gets to the Apache Web Server set up it fails and stops the upgrade. We are running Ubuntu 10.XX.

Is there a way around this or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your assistance

try to upgrade your server, first.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

If that doesn’t work, then I’d say move to 12.04 or 13.04.

If you want to stay with FOG 1.2.0 because it’s deemed “stable” then do not move to 14.04 or newer.

@Wayne-Workman

Doing this now thank you!

@Wayne-Workman
I upgraded to 12.04 and reran the upgrade and still am having the same issues

@herrpommesfrite Try this manually beforehand:

sudo apt-get install apache2

I tried and that did what it was supposed to do successfully, however, when the install gets to

“Setting up and Starting Apache Web server…failed” it tells me where the log is and kills it.

Please tell me I didn’t kill our imaging system haha

@herrpommesfrite You’ve only killed it temporarily - we’ll get it going.

@Wayne-Workman

That’s good to hear! Thank you for your assistance.
I’ve looked up “Setting up and Starting Apache Web server…failed” and a suggestion i found was to “/etc/init.d/apache2 restart”

Which I did and it returned that it could not find “libphp5.so” so i am looking into that now.

Okay I got it started using

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 

I got past that part and went to the fog management part and got about a thousand errors.

but hey one step close right?

Mod edited to use code box (click edit to see how I did it).

SOLVED! Here is what worked for me:

Original Problem: I am updating FOG 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 and when it got to the part of the installation where the installer

Setting up and Installing Apache Web Server... failed 

I fixed this by updateing Ubuntu to 12.04 and running:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

That got me past the Apache initialization.

The next issue I had was the Database Schema Installer failed and threw HUNDREDS of errors at me. this was fixed by reseting the mySQL password. I found instructions to do so here: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/mysql-resetting-a-lost-mysql-root-password
