Installing LAMP

[hcimis]

Hello All,

This may be an easy fix for you to identify. I have a VM of Ubuntu 11 on Vsphere. I am trying to install LAMP so I can begin developing our new website on top of WordPress, but I have run into a snag. I am unable to get the Apache, MySQL and PHP installed. I am using
sudo apt-get install to install each item.

I get the following message:

Package [package name]is not available.....

E: Package [package name] has no installation canidate

I have also done
sudo apt-get update and this runs but several of the websites come back with 404

Hello hcimis ,

Welcome to the UbuntuForums.
you are missing the package name .

sudo apt-get install package_name
have this fired in your terminal .


sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

I did include the package name when running. I just omitted it in the post.

Just checked it again and it worked.

I get the same message when trying to install tasksel.

I was able to figure it out. Our proxy was blocking.
