I’m in the Ubuntu installer and I don’t see that option, It just goes through the steps until it gets to the screen to select a partition

Okay. I had issues with my install too. I couldn’t do a regular install for some reason. I had to boot into the live OS and install from there. In the normal install I kept seeing messages in the command area saying it didn’t have permissions to do things, and then it would error out and say it didn’t know where to install GRUB.

I had a feeling that maybe it’s because I’m using RAID, but I couldn’t find any supporting info on that. I’m using RAID5 on a Dell PowerEdge R610 if that makes any difference. lol

So how would I do a minimal install, I don’t think I’m following you. (Sorry, it’s been a long day in this tiny room in front of this server)

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 32838, member: 7271”]Fresh install would probably work.

When doing the fresh install, don’t install LAMP.[/quote]

What’s LAMP?

[quote=“ianabc, post: 32830, member: 24548”]OK, I think apache is working but that your php setup might be broken. That script should be getting executed on the server, not offered for download. You might need to apt-get install the php packages again.

Could you just confirm that the apache startup script is indeed working, first press Ctrl-C to kill off the apache debug session, then run the actual startup script, here is the output from my system
