Ububtu Lucid webgui (7.7.30-1) - install

Just enable universe repo then run:

sudo apt-get install webgui

It's very easy to install! On your Ubuntu computer, click System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager. Enter your password if prompted. Then, type webgui in the search field, click the checkbox next to it, and hit "Mark for Installation". It will automatically install each dependency.

I have setup a basic Ubuntu server. I will now need to make it a LAMP server before trying the first approaches. Is that correct?

I brought the server up to level - LAMP

After adding new deb source and running apt-get, I got this error:

root@webgui:~# apt-get install webgui
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  webgui: Depends: libpoe-component-client-http-perl (>= 0.88) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Am I missing something?

cd ~; wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26360941/libpoe-component-client-http-perl_0.88-1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./libpoe-component-client-http-perl_0.88-1_all.deb; sudo apt-get -f install; rm ./libpoe-component-client-http-perl_0.88-1_all.deb; sudo apt-get install webgui

Should do it. I hope to god you are not logging in as root

Dependency error:

I will continue to try getting it to work!

cd ~; wget http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libp/libpoe-perl/libpoe-perl_1.2840-1_all.deb; wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20668481/libpoe-component-client-keepalive-perl_0.2500-1_all.deb

for 32bit:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21839154/libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

for 64bit:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21812394/libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Then run:

sudo dpkg -i lib*; sudo apt-get -f install

All I did was find the debs for the libs you needed. Simple really.

Thanks for all your help. I (we) got it to install.

I will now try the Debian version which is more current with the WebGUI developmental cycle.
