Unstable upgrade exp
On one machine with unstable I noticed somehow via upgrades that some
apache2-* stuff had crept in, though apache1.3 was the httpd.
As I've used apache2 on other machines, I thought I would try upgrade
the machine today though I had difficulties.
bible$ dpkg -L apache2-common | grep init
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/apache2
bible$ cat /etc/init.d/apache2
cat: /etc/init.d/apache2: No such file or directory
Big problem was the "/etc/init.d/apache2" could not be found. I did
reinstall apache2-common and still it wasn't to be found.
Then I thought I should install PHP and all hell broke loose:
bible$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
