Unfortunately no. You have to comment out just part of the entire check script, all the way to the end. I also had to comment all the extra fi's:

if [ "$install_lamp" = 1 ];
then
#cat /etc/group | grep www-data &> /dev/null
#checkprev=$?
#if [ "$checkprev" = 0 ];
# then
# echo -e "\a"\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\# WARNING
# echo Apache has already been installed, script ends now!
# exit
#else
install_lamp
fi
#fi

if [ "$install_cacti" = 1 ];
then
#ls /var/www/cacti &> /dev/null
#checkprev=$?
#if [ "$checkprev" = 0 ];
# then
# echo -e "\a"\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\# WARNING
# echo Cacti v$CactiVersion has already been installed, script ends now!
# exit
#else
install_cacti
fi
#fi


This stops the prechecks - but installs the items selected at the beginning of the script. Then I ran it as sudo - and the script is working as we speak!!!

Hi guys :)

Looks like the mail alert of this topic didn't work huhu :p

Also, it looks like one of the first prechecks(the one looking if Apache has been installed) is causing a lot of problem to Ubuntu lovers.

Let's change that :)

I trully don't know what the problem is, I paused after several attempts, I might mail the plugin editor about that issue.

Glad to see the pre-check issue has been resolved in the script so we don't have to edit it anymore. I guess emailing the creator of the syslog plugin would be the next step. Hopefully they will help out. This script is a great idea and great thing to have at any IT's guy or average joe's finger tips for a quick install.

Well I tried using v0.40b and I am still not able to get the script to run and I still get errors and I am unable to get it to launch.

Ok guys I've got it, just tested it on an ubuntu 10.10 fresh install

My mistake ^^

THE FIRST LINE OF THE SCRIPT IS :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
Actually it should be :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
It explains the weird behaviour on ubuntu.

Sorry about that, I'll change it tomorrow

Meanwhile if you need to run the script just edit this line and it'll be fine

Night all

Well crap. That fixed it. Now we just gotta get the plug-in creator of syslog to help get it integrated into the script.

Cheers!

V0.40 and v0.40b are deprecated for ubuntu users

V0.40C just released.

- Fully supports Ubuntu 10.10 (if someone dares installing on a 10.04 or 9.x, would be great)
- The Ubuntu specific bug is no more (this time)

Thank you all (tribute to JohnYYC for his patience)

I can confirm it works on 9.10 and 10.04LTS. (I have bare VM's pre-built for testing new software :) )

Cheers.
