I am going to take a stab at this from what I know from using apt on my system, thanks to my son who takes good care of my Linux issues when he is available.
I suspect that you have to define what servers apt is allowed to use. In Debian, that is done in /etc/apt/sources.list . This is the beginning of mine: cat /etc/apt/sources.list #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-3 (20041217)]/ unstable contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-2 (20041217)]/ unstable contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20041217)]/ unstable contrib main deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main #deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main #deb http://security.debian.org/ unstable/updates main contrib deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main etc. ************* After you define your servers, you can see if you can get apache2 by using apt-cache search #apt-cache search apache2 apache-utils -

I have scoured the net and have not figured out how to uninstall my apache and install apache2. Apt-get install apache2 --> can't find package. apt-get install apache-mpm-prefork --> no better. So I tried to reading over the older instructions: http://vista.vmth.ucdavis.edu/notebook/index/12.html (targeting apache) to see if I could somehow merge these with: http://vista.vmth.ucdavis.edu/notebook/index/48.html But I guess I am just not smart enough, or don't have enough background experience, to get this working. I have no idea how my current apache is linked into the RedHat9 system. It seems to be a low level service that is provided. Your new instructions specify to : copy file m2web-vista-site to /etc/apache2/sites-available/vista (I don't have an /etc/apache2/ directory) Your equivalent older instruction indicate to edit: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf So I tried putting the content from your new m2web-vista-site into the httpd.conf file, in the section named: Virtual hosts. When I do this, stop the httpd service and then restart it. I get a failure to start. So something is wrong. Is there anyway you could provide up to date instructions for those (like me) not using Apache2? Thanks Kevin On 1/14/06, Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, you have convinced me.
