<div>Duarte,</div>
<div>What version of Ubuntu? 14.04 is typically a big problem with older LAMP architecture install instructions.</div>

Subject: [ensembl-dev] Installing ensembl site <br>
<br>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear Ensembl Devs
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your manual to how to install a local version of your ensembl site are woefully incomplete and out ot date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any willingness of fixing these instructions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A few of my remarks:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/mirror/install/non-ensembl-code.html">http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/mirror/install/non-ensembl-code.html</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The description on how to build configure and install and configure Apache server and mod_perl are incomplete and even my attempts at following the steps on my debian server simply fail due to missing dependencies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given most people will be running servers on debian and ubuntu and similar servers it would be very welcome a more targeted approach to the usual default configuration of systems after after a simple</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>sudo apt-get install git</div>
</div>
<div>sudo apt-get install apache2<br>
</div>
<div>
<div>sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2<br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the way I have opted to install git, apache and mod_perl and I think because if it, I still have not been able to setup the site properly because your setup assumes wrong folder locations for many of the apache2 configuration files installed
in this manner.</div>

<div>The instructions above are incorrect</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think they should be :</div>

<div>correct me if I am wrong, please.</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As indicated before, these instructions assume a non-standard apache setup.</div>
<div>At least in debian and ubuntu ... there is no httpd command</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>apache2 server is started using the command :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>sudo apache2ctl start</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this has highlighted a few of the difficulties with your documentation</div>
<div>Maybe these are problems only to newbies like me... but at least, maybe they can help other that are also experiencing difficulties following your manual.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best regards</div>
