Hi guys - long time listener, first time caller...

I've tried unsuccessfully to set up a server using both StackScripts and following the guide. I have no issues with introducing myself as a complete n00b, so please be aware! However, it's costing me money to keep trying so it's time to ask for help

I've been following the http://library.linode.com guide and it goes well up until installing Apache.

I set up my hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
176.58.120.62   robhadfield.robhadfield.co.uk   robhadfield

Then I removed the

fe00 ip6...

lines that were in there, was that the right thing to do? I'm following the guide exactly...

After setting that up I used the commmand:

sudo apt-get install apache2

to install Apache - after asking for permission it then came back with errors:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I'm running a Linode512 with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Profile.

Any help apprecisted!

Thanks
Rob

It seems you need to update apt-get sources. Run "sudo apt-get update" and try to install apache after that.

Well that was easy... Much appreciated drpks!
