Hello all,

Ever since edgy I've had problem-free installs of LAMP on my laptop... however, I just made a fresh install of hardy, and things aren't going well. Everything installed just fine, but I can't run my php apps and localhost/phpmyadmin/ doesn't work.

I get this error if I try and restart apache:

spirit2@spirit-laptop:~$ apache2 -k restart
apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}


I have not found anything useful on this "bad user name" error. I don't understand why this doesn't work, its the same way I've installed it every other time.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Cory
