LAPP Appliance Issues

Support

Hello everyone.

This is the third TurnKey Appliance that I have tried and I must say that these are VERY nice appliances.

Im having trouble with getting apt-get to work correctly.  I am trying to install MySQL on the LAPP appliance along with PHPMYADMIN and PHPPGADMIN and am having trouble getting apt-get to work correctly.

When I type apt-get install mysql-server i get


root@lapp:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get install mysql-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package mysql-server

I have went into /etc/apt/sources.list.d  then the file source.list and removed all of the comment tags and still no dice.  When I run apt-get update I get the following:

I tried to see if iptables is blocking it from going out but it is not installed. 

Can someone please let me know what im doing wrong?

I think we nailed this bug

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. You seem to be describing a bug in the confconsole which the recent 2009.02 release should have fixed. Could you try again and see if we've solved your problem?

To see if there was anything

To see if there was anything that I did wrong, I went ahead and reinstalled the LAPP server (since it only takes a few minutes) :)

Here is what I found. During the install, DHCP is done automatically. When I go into the admin tool and configure StaticIP, it removes the GatewayIP address. I then have to go back in and manually put in the GatewayIP.

If I reboot the machine, and go back into the StaticIP setup, the GatewayIP address is removed.

I think there may be a bug in the LAPP install or either I have a bad disc.

As of now it is working and my setup looks the same once I run what you asked me to the first time.

Thanks a lot for all of your help with this. I really appreciate it.

DNS configuration

My best guess is your /etc/resolv.conf is misconfigured, for a couple of reasons:

1. Have you setup a local dns configuration? (ie. 127.0.0.1)
2. The nameserver configured doesn't seem to be a nameserver, or atleast isn't accepting my traffic.
$ htping -f -p 53 192.117.33.17; echo $?
htping: No route to host
1

$ host -a turnkeylinux.org 192.117.33.17
Nameserver 192.117.33.17.static.012.net.il not responding
turnkeylinux.org ANY record not found at 192.117.33.17.static.012.net.il, try again
A quick search revealed that you should be using {pdns,sdn}.012.net.il, so update your /etc/resolv.conf to contain:
212.117.129.3
212.117.128.6
This should solve your problem, unless ofcourse you also have routing problems...

Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks for the quick reply. Here is a printout of all of the information that you asked for. The networking was done via DHCP. Right now im SSH into the machine but it doesnt seem to go out to a network location.

networking configuration

It seems to me like a networking configuration issue, nothing to do with APT. If you could provide a little more information about your setup, it would be easier to help.
ifconfig -a
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

ping www.google.com
ping 209.85.135.147
Did you configure networking or was it done automatically via DHCP?

BTW, if you are using a virual machine, make sure it has access to the hosts network via NAT or bridged networking.
