Installing LAMP on Ubuntu 9.40 - enable REWRITE module

Posted by Elias

I've just reinstalled the nuew Ubuntu 9.04 on my notebook (a fresh installation) and suddenly I realized I needed to install all the services to get Drupal running, just needed this:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server

Done!

BUT, if you're attempting to use Drupal and use the Clean URL module, you should enable the "Rewrite" Apache module, by using the following command:

$sudo a2enmod

then, just type: rewrite

then restart the Apache service by typing:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and now we're done!!

Ubuntu packages are based on

Ubuntu packages are based on packages from Debian's unstable branch: both distributions use Debian's deb package format and package management tools (APT and Synaptic).vcp certification Debian and Ubuntu packages are not necessarily binary compatible with each other, however, and sometimes .deb packages may need to be rebuilt from source to be used in Ubuntu.Many Ubuntu developers are also maintainers of key packages within Debian. Ubuntu cooperates with Debian by pushing changes back to Debian,640-802 ccna although there has been criticism that this doesn't happen often enough. In the past, Ian Murdock, the founder of Debian, has expressed concern about Ubuntu packages potentially diverging too far from Debian Sarge to remain compatible.Before release, packages are imported from Debian Unstable continuously and merged with Ubuntu-specific modifications.70-431 exam A month before release, imports are frozen, and packagers then work to ensure that the frozen features interoperate well together.
