Re: Problem with apache installation..!

[B-Fly <b.fly.spam.1@hccnet.nl>]

Based on the version number of apache2 I expect you are using testing?

I had the same problem a few days ago when installing apache2. I did get 
it installed in the end. I do not know exactly anymore what I did to get 
it to install. I believe that I manually unpacked apache2-common with 
dpkg to get the needed configuration files. After this it still didn't 
work. I had to edit apache2.conf (see posting of me a few days ago) to 
correct some Include statements. But perhaps it is already corrected by 
now, because I believe apache2 was updated today (in testing at least).
