If you're installing something new, check the depends list for what is to be installed and for what is suggested. Install suggested packages if a package doesn't seem to work. $ apt-cache depends php4 In this case, you can see that apache server is not installed (though apache-common is). $ apt-get install php4 apache apache-doc php-doc The /usr/share/doc/<package>/README.Debian usually gives workarounds for any problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
