Facing error while installing Apache2 in Ubuntu 14.04 'has no installation candidate' - apache

I don't know what I did but I'm not able to install apache2 in my Ubuntu 14.04.
When I use sudo apt-get install apache2 I face this error.
Reading package lists... Done

Package apache2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libapache2-mpm-itk:i386 libapache2-mpm-itk
E: Package 'apache2' has no installation candidate

First make sure that your proxy is disabled as that can cause a problem sometimes.
Then run the following.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install apache2
If that doesn't work you can always compile your own apache2. A tutorial for that is located here: https://www.virgohacks.net/install-apache-2-4-mysql-5-6-php-5-5-source-ubuntu-14-04/
Good luck

Not able to install mod_perl module on the server

In my site I am getting an error : an error occurred while processing this directive
It was working fine before moving to the new server. So when I checked I found that mod_perl module is missing. So I tried to install it by downloading the module to the server and then tried to run using Perl Makefile.pl but it was asking for apache src and I was not able to find it. I can see /usr/bin/apache/ folder but no source file inside the folder.
So I tried to install the module from Cpanel but I got the following error:
The C compiler is not functional and auto repair failed. Perl module installs require a working C compiler. Please repair the C compiler and try again.
Please let me know how to install it as I have tried most of the cases searching the net.
Thanks in advance
It's probably best to use your distro's packaging system to install mod_perl, especially, if apache is installed from a package too.
Yum based systems:
yum install mod_perl
Deb based systems
apt-get install mod_perl
you may need to enable the module using a2enmod
Mostly gcc is either corrupted or not present on your system. Please try to re/install gcc on your system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
On Redhat:
yum update
yum install devtoolset-2-toolchain
It seems like a problem with your installation of gcc. You're using CloudLinux, so you should use yum to reinstall gcc.
$ sudo -i yum install gcc
But you don't need gcc if you install the pre-build packages.
$ sudo -i yum install mod_perl
Either way, you're going to need to get to grips with package installation for your system - and for that you're going to need root access.

Installing Cobbler on Ubuntu 15.10 seems to break apache, how can I fix this?

I am trying to install Cobbler on a brand new Ubuntu 15.10 virtual box but it is not working. When I run the apt-get install cobbler cobbler-web it seems to break apache completely to the point I can't get it working again.
I see this in the apache error log:
[wsgi:crit] [pid 8112:tid 140273573488512] mod_wsgi (pid=8112): The mod_python module can not be used on conjunction with mod_wsgi 4.0+. Remove the mod_python module from the Apache configuration.
and this in the auth.log:
polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:8081:54865 (system bus name :1.24, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus)
I have tried removing the mod_python and wsgi modules but apache still doesn't start up. And I think Cobbler uses them anyways, so I kind of need them.
I have also tried disabling polkitd. I don't find any clues when searching for that weird error message.
I was able to install Cobbler on Ubuntu 14.04 pretty easily and apache works fine.
Here is the basic chain of install commands I used:
apt-get update
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
apt-get install bind9 bind9utils bind9-doc
apt-get install cobbler cobbler-web debmirror mkisofs
Disable the module by typing sudo a2dismod python
You should then see this:
Module python disabled. To activate the new configuration, you need to
run: service apache2 restart
So type sudo service apache2 restart.
If that doesn't fix it, check the error log for more information by typing
cat /var/log/apache2/error.log.

phpredis extension doesn't work, unable to load 'redis.so'

I installed nginx, php, php-fpm, php-pecl-redis by yum.
All of them work but the last one.
When I run /usr/sbin/php-fpm, I got this:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/redis.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/redis.so: undefined symbol: igbinary_unserialize in Unknown on line 0
I don't know what igbnary_unserialize means and how to fix it.
I checked the redis.so file under right path. I add extension=redis.so to php.ini
PHP version: 5.3.3
PhpRedis version: 2.2.7
I had the same issue. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Running sudo apt-get install php-igbinary resolved the issue for me. I have other issues, but that's what solved this one.
For people who are upgrading their php from 7.0 to 7.4 like me, and not able to get php-redis working. These are the steps I used after following the answers above.
1) remove Redis
sudo apt purge php-redis
2) Install Igbinary
sudo apt-get install php-igbinary
3) Install php-redis again
sudo apt-get install php-redis
I did the steps above because it seems only php7.0 is recognising the php-redis install but not the currently enabled php7.4
I also recommend removing other versions of PHP if you have should your problem continue unsolved.
Probably an issue with igbinary, is this installed? (try for example: cat /etc/php.d/igbinary.ini).
Here you can find and install igbinary

You should remove php-redis from packages:
apt purge php-redis , and install it via pecl install redis
You should add "extension=redis.so" to php.ini
and remove redis from config.d in your php directory:
rm /etc/php/7.2/fpm/conf.d/#20-redis.ini
and
rm /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/#20-redis.ini
restart php fpm and you will see that problem solved
On Ubuntu 20 and PHP 7.4
I did this and it worked :
sudo apt purge php-redis
sudo apt intall php-redis php7.4-redis
TEST redis server :
$ php --ri redis
or
$ redis-cli ping
$ redis-cli info stats
just resolve the same problem:
php-pecl-redis installed by yum will cause this problem.
so you need to install the php-redis manually. wget the package and phpize - configure - make ....

cannot install libapache2-mod-fcgid apache mod

hello i trying to install libapache2-mod-fcgid mod but have always get error.
root#mail:~# sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache2-mod-fcgid : Depends: apache2.2-common but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
and without fcgid mod i cannot launch apache server
root#mail:~# service apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [fail]
* The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
apache2: Syntax error on line 140 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
apache version 2.4
This worked for me: Ubuntu 21.10 in year 2022:
sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-fcgid
I know it is a bit late for a response but, since there is no answer yet, I'll put one.
In this situation, the dependencies from libapache2-mod-fcgid are not met. In this case, you could download and install apache2.2-common prior the installation of libapache2-mod-fcgid like this:
sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common
and then try your install command afterward.

Amazon web services and ubuntu 10.04 ec2 instance

I have created ubuntu 10.04 ec2 image and now I need to install tomcat apache and jdk6 on my instance but whenever I use the command sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or sudo apt-get install tomcat6 admin or sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools
Package ec2-api-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.

Another option is to add their official repository to apt - this will provide you up to date AWS tools:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:awstools-dev/awstools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools -y
This is extremely useful for farther releases and and for up to date official bug fixes etc. just by running the usual
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Ubuntu doesn't have the Sun JDKs available by default so in /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner
and then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
ec2-api-tools requires the multiverse lines in sources.list to be uncommented first (remember to apt-get update also).
I am a bit confused, if you just want to install Java and Tomcat, why are you also trying to install the ec2 tools?
In any case, I also want to mention the free BitNami Cloud Tools installer (disclaimer: I am one of the developers). It includes the JDK and all EC2-related tools. We keep it fairly up-to-date and can run as a regular user.
