Before I get started with my main post, I want to comment re: the LiveCD option. I tried it first off, but I've got an old PC that I'm running this on and it has a 4x CD player (ugh!). The CD hung before even getting started. The good news is I got Apache to run and the eZ publish setup wizard is available in my browser. I pointed my browser over to the apache.org site and found the answer in thier FAQ at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html under: D. Error Log Messages and Problems Starting Apache Per the ubuntu documentation at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto I ran the following in the ubuntu Terminal (bash, I think): man adduser to check out the adduser options. The man page indicated that a group with the same name would be created by default. I picked up somewhere that Apache was typically run by a user named "www." I also wanted a user to run Apache without the uneeded baggage of a home directory, so this is what I ran next: adduser --no-create-home www The command errored with: The group 'www' already exists. I guess that's one way to find out. Next I started the Apache server with:
cd /opt/ezpublish/apache_1.3.33/bin
./apachectl graceful The command replied with: httpd started gracefully Switching over to Firefox I entered localhost:8085 in the address bar and voila! The eZ setup wizard appeared. I hope no one minds my verbose posts. I've not even really used eZpublish, but the promise of what it can do is so powerful that I have a real heart to see that others can get the answers they need. I continue this post with any further problems I run into.
