Installation Faulire - Debian 8 Minimum Install

[ohiogeek79]

Hello,

I'm trying install VestaCP on a minimum install of Debian 8, but the install fails here:

Module ruid2 already enabled
Enabling module headers.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
service apache2 restart
Job for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'jour nalctl -xn' for details.
Error: apache2 start failed

With "systemctl status apache2.service" Showing the following:

root@g3cms03:~# systemctl status apache2.service

I've never had issues getting this running on debian before. So please advise?

Kind Regards,

some VPS/Server specs would help.
Can be a template problem your provider using to deploy the server.

My hosting provider is ramnode... VPS specs are as follows:

Code: Select all

Debian 8.0 64-bit Minimal
40GB Space
1GB Ram
256MB VSwap

If you need any other information, let me know

Thanks,

please fresh reinstall Debian 8 on your VPS and send me SSH root access in PM. I'll try and take a look :)

I had a similar issue with Ubuntu 16. Found out it was a global ServerName issue followed by a unresolvable hostname.

So, you can try:

Code: Select all

root@host:echo "ServerName yourhostname" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

then adding to the hosts:

Code: Select all

root@host:echo "serverip yourhostname" >> /etc/hosts

once that's done, run the same install commands adding -f at the end. Thats how I got my ubuntu to kick over.
