Error installing Apache2 Server
I'm trying to install apache2
server, but it gives following error message:
It looks like you've deleted
/etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.load
, somod_cgid
cannot be enabled.To fix this, please purge and reinstall apache2.2-common.
Setting up apache2 (2.2.17-1ubuntu1.5) ...
I've done the same using ubuntu software center, but getting the same error again.
You are trying to install apache2 , upgrade or restore it ? this error is more of "reinstall" issue .
ATTENTION IT IS A TRICK
Using the console is more efficient
I suggest you to check if some dependency or file of apache2
is still in your system
sudo dpkg -l | grep apache2.2-common
will list all the dependencies of apache2.2-common
package, if any try to remove it manually. By,
sudo dpkg -r *dependency name*
or
sudo apt-get remove *dependency name*
Once finished proceed to purge it,
sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2.2-common
or at least try to touch the missing file to bypass the problem
touch /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.load
I'm sure you have also removed other files too, So proceed step by step on all your missing configurations
