Modules are missing

[swendell]

I installed on Ubuntu 8.04 and it does run BUT most modules are not there.
I'm new to Linux so I'm sure I could have messed something up..
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
 you don't have messed anything instead you need to install the pacakges for the modules you want,
Here you have a list of the packagess availables (with the exception of the jukebox-mercury package):
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ebox-

Cheers,

1) What is the easiest way to install them?
I don't think you can install eBox modules from eBox.

Is there an apt command or something I can run on the server?
Can you please provide the steps to install one of them (like the eBox software module)?
Sorry to be a pain, I'm just very new to all this...
It says the software module allows you to install other Ebox components..

2) Is there an Ebox module to help manage apache2 / MySQL or a file manager?

[Javier Amor Garcia]

Thre is a eBox module (ebox-software) that can be used to install another modules but you hasn't it installed.
You can usae, as you suggest, apt. To install all ebox modules you can use the following command:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install ebox-.*

Got this Error: Couldn't Find Package ebox-software

2) Is there an Ebox module to help manage apache2 / MySQL or a file manager?

[Javier Amor Garcia]

the error is raised because some of the packages listed aren't yet in the ubuntu repository.
You can try to install specific packages with the command 'apt-get install [package1]  [package2] ...
The packages that are lsited in the previous link from the ubuntu's package pages are a safe bet to install.

About your second question we have a module to control a webserver but isn't ported to Ubuntu yet (eBox originally runned on debian ).
WE haven't a module to control mysql.
I am not sure what you mean with a file manager module, if you mean a module to be able to share files in a network, we have the ebox-samba module that provides this feature.

Cheers,

This is the command that gave the error:
apt-get install ebox-software       

1. Is software the name of the package?
2. If the package is not listed in the ubuntu repository; how could apt-get work ?

Thanks again,
Scott

ebox-software is not currently ported to Ubuntu. eBox was Debian based distro until a few months ago.

You may install ebox modules by executing this command:

Code: [Select]

$ apt-get install ebox ^ebox-.*

Hope this helps.
