Firstly, I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 (Velvet) on my local machine.
I recently uninstalled the LAMP stack due to several config issues I was experiencing (especially when I tried working with CodeIgniter). Wasn't sure if it were from PHP or Apache. But I know I'd done several edit configs on my PHP & Apache files of which I had forgotten where & when. Unistalling it all was the only option I could think of.
Now, I was re-installing the stack following the official guide on Ubuntu Help. While installing, I came across a few issues.
Screen shots are available here.
First Issue
Selecting previously unselected package mysql-server-5.6. Preparing to unpack .../mysql-server-5.6_5.6.25-0ubuntu0.15.04.1_amd64.deb ... grep: /etc/mysql/: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: Unit mysql.service is masked
mysql.service is masked. Does it mean inaccessible?
Second Issue
Setting up mysql-server-5.6 (5.6.25-0ubuntu0.15.04.1) ... invoke-rc.d: Unit mysql.service is masked update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf doesn't exist dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Setting up libalgorithm-c3-perl (0.09-1) ...
It repeated same invoke error as the first. But this time there was an additional file path & dpkg error
Thrid Issue
Setting up libtext-template-perl (1.46-1) ... Setting up libsoftware-license-perl (0.103010-3) ... Setting up libterm-ui-perl (0.42-1) ... Setting up libtext-soundex-perl (3.4-1build2) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server: mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.6; however: Package mysql-server-5.6 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Setting up rename (0.20-3) ... No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/file-rename to provide /usr/bin/rename (rename) in auto mode Setting up libcgi-fast-perl (1:2.04-1) ...
Same dpkg error. Seems like it couldn't access a folder, it had to create its own and named it 'rename'
Fourth Issue
Module mpm_event disabled. Enabling module mpm_prefork. apache2_switch_mpm Switch to prefork apache2_invoke: Enable module php5 Setting up apache2-mpm-prefork (2.4.10-9ubuntu1.1) ... Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-19) ... Processing triggers for systemd (219-7ubuntu6) ... Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.6 mysql-server E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I was hoping this fourth one is only a summary of the previous 3 errors, but I wasn't sure.
Like mentioned, I'm a novice in Linux. I don't want to mess with any file or folder so I don't screw it up like I always end up doing.
Seems like it all has to do with file access & permission.
If so, how then can I solve this thing please? It's really killing me. I have always had file permission issues trying to access folders (especially) within '/var/lib'.
If not so, what could be the possible issue, and how can I solve it?
THANK YOU!
