After removing lighttpd from rc2.d, I can access the web admin again. Looks like all is working again. Why is lighttpd got installed?

Gawd, this is deep space.

Web interface dead. Apache2 impossible to restart, even after boot.


After your:
apt-get remove --purge bubba-backend
apt-get -f install
apt-get install bubba-frontend
I get this:
=========================================
Starting web server (apache2)...Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/admin:
Invalid command 'FastCgiExternalServer', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
failed!
.
.
.

=========================================

Now the first page of the web interface is working, but not Webmail or Administration. (404 not found)

So crap-crap-crap!!!
Do appreciate you trying carl, but this seems like a lost case.
Would you like me to set up an account on the bubba with shell access so you can have a look?

[Hammer]

so I tried this again:

Code:
cp /usr/share/bubba-configs/apt/* /etc/apt/


Here I do an intentional semi-failed distupgrade, might not be needed, but anyway. as I force it, you will get the option to remove two packages, answer yes there.
Code:
apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Now we remove everything that depends on bad packages

Now the Horde web interface is accessible, but I cannot login with my user. Don't say everything is gone, then I'll go bonkers.

Webadmin is still not accessible.

continued the trail in your post:

Got

And the last line:

apt-get install bubba-frontend

got me

Still no access to webadmin....

Hammer,

I got the same problem as yours. You may want to stop lighttpd and start apache2 instead.

#/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop
#/etc/init.d/apache2 start

Gawd, this is deep space.


After your:
apt-get remove --purge bubba-backend
apt-get -f install
apt-get install bubba-frontend

shouldn't that be remove bubba-backend, install bubba-backend???

I.e.

Code: Select all

apt-get remove --purge bubba-backend 
apt-get -f install
apt-get install bubba-backend

As bubba-frontend depends on bubba-backend, the frontend will be removed when the bakcend is removed, and the backend will be installed if the frontend is beeing installed.

On an other note, I tested this on a clean RC7 after one failed dist-upgrade, the basic problem is a symlink in the php5-cgi package which we assumed was an directory (/etc/php5/cgi/conf.d), which resulted in this problem, have filed an bug upstream to see if we can solve this problem in a good upstream manner (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505743), otherwise I will need to patch the php5 package locally (which I'm already in the progress of doing).

If you want, you can set up an ssh account for me, and I can try fixing the system for you, as it is difficult to give exact instructions, as different instructions are required depending on how much the packages are configured. Though remember to remove any account information from fetchmail first, so you don't need to change passwords for all your external email accounts.You can mail support@excito.com if you want this solution.

Can I install a fresh system without touching my data?
If so, how?
