Hi all

OS - Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64bit running as VM
Virtualizer Oracle VirtualBox
airtime 2.2.1-1

phpmyadmin NOT installed.

$ sudo service apache2 start

Code:

* Starting web server apache2 Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost: ServerAdmin takes one argument, The email address of the server administrator Action 'start' failed. The Apache error log may have more information. ...fail!

$ tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

Code:

[Wed Jan 16 15:26:06 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Jan 16 15:26:07 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Wed Jan 16 15:26:08 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Jan 16 15:34:43 2013] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

Please advise where to check and how to fix the problem? TIA

If you read the error message carefully, you can see this line:
"Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost:"
So edit that file, look for "ServerAdmin".

Hi,

cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime-vhost

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName icecast.mydomain.com #ServerAlias Example Domain ServerAdmin root@localhost An email address is required for the virtual host configuration. DocumentRoot /usr/share/airtime/public DirectoryIndex index.php SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "production" <Directory /usr/share/airtime/public> Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

After deleting "An email address is required for the virtual host configuration." then it works

Thanks
