can't get ebox running

[tmilam]

I installed ebox a week or two ago, then uninstalled it. Now I'm reinstalling and having trouble with it. Here is what happens:

The ebox group has not been set in the config file.Creating the eboxlogs database
Skipping apache port setting as current port and new port are equal
The ebox group has not been set in the config file.invoke-rc.d: initscript ebox, action "apache" failed.
The ebox group has not been set in the config file.invoke-rc.d: initscript ebox, action "apache" failed.

I even tried apt-get remove --purge (with no luck, same results).

If I try to start ebox with /etc/init.d/ebox/start I get this

The ebox group has not been set in the config file.

Hi,

That's a known bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/213939).

You can workaround it by doing the following:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libebox

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gconftool-2 /usr/bin/gconftool

Reinstall eBox again
