Trouble with Tasksel

[West Slope]

I've been trying to set a sever up all weekend. I use this in the terminal
tasksel install lamp-server
and all I get is E: Failed to fetch http://mirror.htnshost.com/ubuntu/pool/ ... u6_all.deb 403 Forbidden. Is that the only link there is to get it?
Thanks

Just run tasksel without options.

If you need help setting up Linux please look it up with Google.

It is Linux Mint and for now I'm using VM VirtualBox. Would it be better to go with a different distro, or just going with the server? I could look all day with Google and not know what to look for.
Thanks

Using a VM to test is OK. For a system that you want to use for a while use a PC. Easy enough to set up a Ubuntu server in a VM to get some experience. For desktop see: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu#Guid ... tu_Desktop

Something easy see: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Lubuntu_16. ... _CD_or_USB

Oh, tasksel does not come with desktop versions. Install it in a terminal: sudo apt-get install tasksel
Run tasksel as an elevated user: sudo tasksel
Check LAMP and install it!

Thanks. I've been downloading the 1.29.0 pre-configured CD or USB for awhile now. How big is the file? I'm on my live system now to see what happens. With the live-usb. Is it like any "live" where you can try, or install? I have Win 7 on this system and would like to keep it if I can.
Thanks

Got the live-usb downloaded. Tried the localhost/zm and FF said Server not found. No internet to test, so it's gone. I'll set VM up on this system too
Thank you again, so much for the help...

Got LAMP going with tasksel, but didn't know Select a task by scrolling down and pressing space. This will put an asterisk beside the selected task and mark it for installation. Now to set ZM up.
Thanks

The setup went GREAT and when all done this came up. localhost/zm/api/host/getVersion.json

"version": "1.30.0",
"apiversion": "1.0"

YeeeHaw! Thank you bbunge. This was at the last of all of it.
ZMS_PATH in ZoneMinder options. Socket_sendto or no live streaming
Looked in Paths. Saw PATH_ZMS, but no Socket_sendto or no live streaming.
Should I do anything?
Also... Are there any links to look at for setting the monitors up?
Thanks

Are the servers down? I am having problems with installing your file bb. zm_install.

Next we will add timezone yo PHP. Nano will open, search for :date.timezone = and make it look like date.timezone = America/New_York Press enter to continue

and this:
E: Failed to fetch http://mirror.htnshost.com/ubuntu/pool/ ... u6_all.deb 403 Forbidden
seems to be the culprit.
Can I please get help from someone?
Thanks
