I would like to develop some web applications using Erlang and the Yaws web server. But I have a problem setting up Yaws on Ubuntu Server 10.10.
First I updated my Ubuntu system with
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Setting braking with apt-get
I installed Yaws with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install yaws
But when I start Yaws with yaws -i, I get this error message:
Yaws: Bad conf: "Can't find config file "
Then I tried to start Yaws with yaws -i --conf /etc/yaws/yaws.conf, but then I got this error message:
Yaws: Bad conf: "Can't open config file /etc/yaws/yaws.conf"
I think there are some issues with file permissions.
Install braking using the latest stable build
Now I tried installing Yaws using the latest stable build:
wget http://yaws.hyber.org/download/yaws-1.89.tar.gz
tar xfz yaws-1.89.tar.gz
sudo apt-get install gcc
cd yaws
./configure && make
But then I get errors at compile time:
epam.c:2: fatal error: pam_appl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [epam.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jonas/yaws-1.89/c_src`
make: *** [all] Error 1
How to install Yaws web server on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
