Kevin, Thanks, for the device. I used a touch command follow by an apt-get mentioned in a previous post to get past that error.
I was having problems with Apache, PHP4, proftpd and MySQL. I got past most of those by installing the Webmin module which seem to initiated a re-installation of the apps. Seems strange to me but it worked. Most everything seems to be working now but what a ride.
