Ubuntu 11.10 to the rescue

I gave up on LFS after getting errors while running the test of the glibc compile. Wrong compiler flags, human errors, ... ? Time to move on


Just installed Ubuntu Server 11.10 on /dev/sda1 of NB100. Mapped /dev/sda3 to /home and included OpenSSH in the install.


Assigned a fixed IP address (process described in one of the earlier posts on this blog)


Updated Ubuntu
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade


Changed the volume labels
- sudo e2label /dev/sda2 UbuntuServer
- sudo e2label /dev/sda2 UbuntuDesk


Installed Apache
Executed: sudo apt-get install apache2

Worked like a charm, was able to access the server on http://192.168.1.249
Error message on deamon start-up: "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified ..."

Added servername to server configuration file;
- sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  added line: ServerName 192.168.1.249
Please note that the correct configuration file is httpd.conf not http.conf as noted in an earlier post.

Restart server: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
