It's hard to determine where you are getting the 404 not found errors, when you execute the apt-get install command or after that, when you try to access something through a browser.
If these 404 errors occur when running the apt-get install apache2 command, that means you are trying to install over http from erroneous sources listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Does an apt-get update or apt-get upgrade -s work? If neither of those commands work then you need to sort out your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the relevant repository sources. No one can advise correctly on that because we don't know what release you are using e.g. lenny, squeeze, testing, stable or unstable? If the command /usr/sbin/apache2 -v tells you a version number for your apache server and gives you a build date then you have apache2 installed. ps -ef | grep apache will indicate if your instance of apache is running. If it isn't running then, as root, type in /etc/init.d/apache2 start to start the server. Check your logs for any errors. Finally, once you have an instance of apache running, put the URL http://localhost/manual into your browser and you should be able to read the apache manual. -- Kind Regards Lesley Binks A: because it disrupts the normal flow of conversation.
