I am new to Linux as well and was having the same issues. However, my friend hosted a site for me on his *nix machine for many years so I was able to learn a few commands. I first issued a chown command to give my account access, sudo-ing all the copy commands won’t do. Now my account has full access to it. The I clicked the php script and chose properties -> Permissions -> Allow executing file as program.

Worked like a charm.

Thanks a lot for the commands. I was trying to install the packages from the KDE Software Management but it is really annoying
and thanks for mysql install as well.
Happy Linuxing

Hi, I’m new to Linux, I installed the packages successfully, localhost redirecting to /var/www/ and there is a default virtual folder named apache2-default available. I want to create a another new virtual folder in the directory. I couldn’t create any folder or file inside the /var/www folder. Can anyone help me to create a virtual folder and to create files with the same.
Note: I am using Xp as a Host Machine and Ubuntu as Virtual Machine with Sun xVM Virtual Box.
Thanks in advance.

Weird question.

For some reason, I have two instances of Apache:

/etc/apache2

/usr/local/apache2

Only the former got php.conf, php.load when I installed PHP5 and ran a2enmod php5. Also, the former is the version referenced in /etc/init.d/

1) Why do I have two copies of apache ?! (yes, I come from a Windows shop and am noobish)
2) How can I enable the latter to use PHP – as it is the server root, httpd.conf, htdocs and perms that I’ve been using.

Thanks!
