I've been trying to set Vagrant up for local development on my machine. I see from Apache's official website that 2.4.7 is the current stable version. And I had no issues installing it on my VPS. But with Vagrant it's a different story. I'm trying with both Base64 and Base32 boxes. This is the command i'm running:
sudo apt-get install -y apache2
It should install apache 2.4.x. But it doesn't. Sometimes it installs version 2.2, sometimes 2.4. This is driving me nuts, since the whole idea of using Vagrant is to have the same Virtual machine replicated everywhere. Any ideas?
Because the Debian based distro (possibly Ubuntu) you're using is still using 2.2.x. Switching to 2.4.x from 2.2.x means all the 3rd party modules they ship have to be upgraded (or at least rebuilt) so they probably haven't made the switch yet.

I'm trying to install Phalcon on my RHEL 7 VM. I downloaded files and folders from GitHub and place them on my VM via WinSCP in /opt/ (using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked)
When I move into /opt/phalcon/build/ and try to sudo ./install, I got a notice that PHP 5 is no longer supported, currently on my Red Hat, I have PHP 7.3.11 version running (checked using php -v and config page).
I installed things like php-devel or gcc.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Maybe someone can help me, because I have no idea how to fix it.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Sorry, but phalcon extension package doesn't exist for this PHP stack.
Using the full php stack from "remi-php73" repository or php73 SCL from "remi-safe" will give you "php-phalcon4" package with latest version of this extension.
using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked
Use a proxy, or download packages and install them manually.
Tips: test installation from another computer, connected to internet, to get the full package list. You can even retrieve them later from /var/cache/yum (using keepcache=1 in yum.conf)

I have followed these steps while installing the gnome extension of chromium in Ubuntu 20.04.
Installed the GNOME Shell integration extension on chromium.
As per their documentation ran a command to install chrome-gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell
Still while loading the gnome-extensions page, it is showing error that "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector."
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue in steps?
FYI: starting from Ubuntu 21.10 Firefox comes as a default browser and as a snap, as well as Chromium. And has the same problem: GNOME Shell integration shows the same error.
Other ways to install the extensions are:
gnome-extensions install --force your_downloaded_extension.zip
unzip your_downloaded_extension.zip ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
Probably this is because you are running Chromium as a Snap. There is an open bug in Launchpad about this, that appears to still be happening in Ubuntu 20.04 (still happening in Ubuntu 22.04):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1741074
The easiest solution would probably be to use another web browser, not in a Snap.
I experienced this issue when upgrading from Ubuntu 21.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), where Firefox was installed via snap - supposedly the sandboxing made it unable to detect.
My resolution (which brought back gnome extensions connector being seen) was to install firefox manually by debian package via the directions in https://balintreczey.hu/blog/firefox-on-ubuntu-22-04-from-deb-not-from-snap/ . You may also be able to install the direct tarball following directions in https://fostips.com/install-latest-firefox-non-esr-debian/
Another option is to use a native extension manager as suggested in https://haydenjames.io/ubuntu-22-04-install-gnome-extensions-manager-workaround/
I solved using Chrome and not more Firefox for extensions.gnome.
(I use Chrome just for manage this extension)
If you still got problems, you could simply do this:
sudo apt-get reinstall chrome-gnome-shell
For me it did work after all, but just by using another browser - Firefox
I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 and I also had this issue. I was using Chromium but I found that Chromium dropped support for this, therefore I installed Firefox from the software. This did not work either.
The fix was to uninstall Firefox from software and install Firefox from ubuntu software with the source: ubuntu-groovy-updates-main
I installed the browser extension on there and it worked perfectly.
Aevin J He gave the answer if you're on ubuntu 21.10. it really matters whom you install it from. don't use the default one, use the one with most reviews
How to upgrade apache2.4.9 to latest stable version apache2.4.25?
Ubuntu 12.04 is a Long Term Support release. This means that the version of Apache included with it will continue to receive security updates into 2017. So while you might not have the most recent version installed, security patches are backported to your version. So you shouldn't necessarily be concerned that you don't have the latest.
When making upgrades to a major piece of software like Apache, you risk making your system unstable. One of the main reasons for using a distribution's package management system rather than installing the latest upstream software is that you get a set of packages that have been tested together. If you update one outside of the package management system, you may introduce incompatibilities. This can particularly be a problem if you rely on non-default Apache modules.
If you really need a more recent version of Apache, I'd suggest upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. If you don't want to do that, you can still get a more recent version by enabling this PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Make sure you upgrade your configuration files as well, see [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html]
I searched the web and found that many people have issues with php7 on Ubuntu 16.04 but I have a slightly different experience.
Problem in short: I upgraded from 12.04 to (first to 14.04) 16.04 and now everything works except Apache2 with PHP7.
The problem: When I create php file like
Hello
<?
echo " World!";
?>
and access it through the browser, the browser renders the "Hello" but not the "World". So basically Apache knows that it's a php file (otherwise the file would be downloaded instead of shown) but doesnt interpret it.
Oh and it doesn't show the php code either (this is what's different in my problem compared to other asked questions).
I had PHP7 installed from a different ppa (ondrej) before but that also didn't work. I completely removed all the packages and PPAs from my sources and now I have only my Ubuntu sources left, I also completely purged all php and apache related packages, including any config under /etc/apache2 and /etc/php. This includes:
php*
php7.0*
libapache2-mod-php7.0
libapache2-mod-php
apache2*
I even removed the apt cache with apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean.
After I purged everything I reinstalled apache and php via
apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0
I checked the mods enabled, php7.0 is enabled, restarted apache, even restarted the whole machine just to be sure but I can't get it to work.
Please don't tell me to reinstall Ubuntu because I want to understand what the problem is instead of just taking the easy way out, also everything else runs fine and I really, really don't want to reinstall all other software again since this is my development machine.
Is there any config file I have overlooked? I mean I completely purged the packages and the configs. /etc/apache2 and /etc/php were properly deleted after the purge.
Oh and also strange: Since the Update I cannot access files without the file extension. Before http://localhost/info would bring me to http://localhost/info.php automatically. Any hints?
After reading a bit I installed phpmyadmin on an Ubuntu server (14.04) with
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
In the installation configuration screens I was asked whether I wanted to use apache2 or lighttpd servers. I selected lighttpd and the installation went on smoothly. I noticed that it still (aparently) installed apache2 server.
Now, reading more on the topic, I feel more confortable if I could use phpmyadmin on apache2 server instead of on lighttpd. Is there a way to change this selection now, without uninstalling and reinstalling again?
There are two possibilities about being prompted for a webserver to use; before apt-get downloads any files it resolves conflicts and installs dependencies -- if you don't have a webserver installed it will prompt you to install one (or do so automatically). The other time it asks you about which webserver to use is after downloading and during configuration; if you have more than one webserver installed, you're prompted for which you want to work with phpMyAdmin. You can pick more than one here, by the way.
To configure phpMyAdmin to work with Apache instead, you can use:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
