No apache MPM package installed

[mcla...@gmail.com]

hi,

Using Ubuntu Lucid 10.4

Have installed apache

sudo apt-get install apache2 (this works)

However i can not start the server with

service start apache2

Error : No apache MPM package installed

???? Im stuck

whereis apache2

/usr/sbin/apache2 /etc/apache2 /usr/lib/apache2 /usr/local/apache2 /usr/share/apache2 /usr/share/man/man8/apache2.8 /usr/share/man/man8/apache2.8.gz

I have read a thousand forums and typed a thousand commands, im still stuck

i have removed apache2 with apt-get purge apache2, and reinstalled, didnt work

I did download apache to my download folder, and managed to get it up and running, i have it running now, but thats not what i want to do, as i need to install php and other things, which i want to do by apt-get install php5.

Any help would be much appreciated

A brief search suggests `sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork` will
install the "prefork" MPM package and then the httpd should start. Seems
that installing `apache2` ought to install that package, but does not on
your version of Ubuntu. It might be a good idea to read up on Multi-
Processing Modules in the Apache documentation.
