[Erlyaws-list] How to setup Yaws on Ubuntu Server 10.10?

[Jonas P. <ma...@jl...>]

Hi,

I would like to develop some web applications using Erlang and Yaws.
But I'm having problem with setting up Yaws on Ubuntu Server 10.10.

First I updated my Ubuntu system with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then I installed Yaws with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install yaws

But when I run 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 guess there is some problems with the file permissions.

Then I tried to install 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 during compilation:
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 can I install Yaws webserver on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
