I am using ubuntu 14.04. My wifi was working fine but after sudden it did not worked. I have googled over thousands of fixes and made as like the suggestion. But still I am not getting my wifi in working condition. I have made several restart the system but still its not working.

I have made this script in my terminal

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info

and the output what I got was like this

can someone tell me what exactly the issue is? How to solve this?

I have the LAMP server on Ubuntu 14.04. I came to know about the php laravel framework.
So I just installed laravel by going from this link.

I just made copy the 000-default.conf file from the path /etc/apache2/sites-available and renamed the file as projects.local.conf and changed the code inside it as the referenced link shows and made changes the hosts file from /etc/hosts as like what the referenced link.

I went through the total tutorial step by step and everything worked fine. Now I just decided to remove the laravel folder and change the installation path.

So to do that I just removed the folder and removed the projects.local.conf file from /etc/apache2/sites-available. Now again I just copied the 000-default.conf and renamed the copied file as laravel.dev.conf and made necessary changes as per the link. Like in the laravel.dev.conf

I made my code like this

<VirtualHost laravel.dev>

    ServerName laravel.dev
    ServerAlias laravel.dev

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/projects

    <Directory /var/www/projects/>
        Options -Indexes
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

sudo a2ensite laravel.dev.conf

Now when I tried to restart the server by doing sudo service apache2 restart
It showed me error like this:

Output of config test was:
apache2: Syntax error on line 219 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/projects.local.conf: No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

Whenever I am trying to create a new .conf file and again removing that and doing restart the server . It is showing the error for the .conf file which has been deleted recently.
I have tried many times but its not working at all.

So can someone tell me how to solve this issue? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks!

I am using LAMP server on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. Before this time I have installed prestashop without any issues. But after a long time when I tried to install prestashop today, it really showed me a strange error. The error is like this:

Warning: require(/var/www/Prestashop/config/config.inc.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/Prestashop/index.php on line 27 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/Prestashop/config/config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear/PEAR') in /var/www/Prestashop/index.php on line 27

For that I decided to debug the error so I went through many blogs and forums and I checked my php.ini file. The file is like this.

After going through many blogs someone had said that the error is for php pear package the link is here.

After that I just made edit my php.ini pear url like this:

;UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/php/PEAR"

After that I just restarted my apache server but it did not worked for me. The same error is coming. So here can someone kindly tell me what's the issue here? and how to solve this?
