(CentOS) ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - rajahomega - 03-28-2008 09:26 AM
I am using cent OS, after I enter the information it says
Quote:ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' !
Here is a copy of what it looks like
Code:
Use which PHP Version? (4 or 5). [5]:
IP of Secondary DNS. (optional) []:
Use MySQL Prefix.
Possible values: [i]nfront, [b]ehind, [n]one. [none]:
Activate AWStats. [no]:

ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' !Is there a simple solution?
RE: ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - joximu - 03-28-2008 09:29 AM
What's the user which is normally used for apache on centOS?
RE: ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - rajahomega - 03-28-2008 04:36 PM
I don't know, this is on a VPS, does that matter? is the setup looking for a www-data user to exist? Do I create this user or change the user that should be used?
RE: ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - joximu - 03-28-2008 06:44 PM
I don't know CentOS very good - normally when you install apache there is a user created named www-data or www or so...
The username is in the config file and if it's the wrong one then we have to change this.
RE: ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - rajahomega - 03-29-2008 01:36 AM
Is this where I would change it?
http.conf
Code:
#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
# . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
# suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group "#-1" on these systems!
#
User nobody
Group nobodyRE: ERROR: Unknown user 'www-data' ! - joximu - 03-29-2008 01:56 AM
Correct this in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf before running ispcp-setup.
I'd say change both:
APACHE_USER = www-data
APACHE_GROUP = www-data
Please report here if this is working better
thanx

Ok I went to /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf and did this:
Code:
APACHE_USER = nobody
APACHE_GROUP = nobodyNow I get this error

Can you install the command "which" - in debian it's the packet debianutils, in suse it's util-linux - I hope you find it (and give us the right packet name).
