apache2-mpm-worker not available - installing on Debian etch (VPS container)

[feelgood]

OK, I get it. :blush:

I am supposed to edit file /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines (modifying them for etch, I assume)

Code:

# stable
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

Now. This file does not exist in my Debian etch.

In /etc/apt I only see
- trusted.gpg
- trustdb.gpg
- secring.gpg
- apt.conf.d (directory)
- sources.list.d (directory)

There is no sources.list file.
Shall I just create one and write those two lines in it?

all you have to do si pico or mcedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add

Code:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

at the end of the file and then run

Code:

apt-get update

and presto! you're done, you can now start installing ispcp

i would also recommend you to upgrade to debian lenny

Thanks alecksievici,
I wrote my previous post while you were writing yours !
I did read the guide, but I misinterpreted the instructions. Sorry.

OK. Two questions:

1. If /etc/apt/sources.list does not exist in my installation, do you think this is a symptom that something else is missing?

2. I have thought of upgrading to Lenny, but this Etch I have, being an off-the shelf Virtuozzo VPS container version of Debian, may be missing other things...? I am not sure. Do you know if this could be the case?

Things missing could lead to many complications. I would not want to get involved in a major project when I just came back to Linux. I just need the Cpanel to work, that's all.

Thanks for your help.
