I'm somewhat of a Ubuntu newb and have recently set-up a ubuntu VPS (on the azure network). I am using webmin / virtualmin as a means to administer the server and quickly * easily create and administer virtual hosting accounts.
After doing some package updayes via the webmin interface, the system rebooted. On relaunching webmin i could see that the apache server wasn't running. When I tried to restart it, webmin displayed the following error:
Failed to start service :
- Starting web server apache2
- The apache2 configtest failed. Output of config test was: AH00526: Syntax error on line 40 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apn.codeclinic.de.conf: Invalid command 'php_admin_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Action 'configtest' failed. The Apache error log may have more information.
If I comment out this line it just fails at the next php reference, and if I comment this one out it simply fails on the config file for the next virtual server(website).
So looking at the command shell I ran
sudo apt-get -f install
Which gives me the following areas of interest(it prints out a huge list of things but these are the most notable errors to me):
dpkg: error processing package php5-cgi (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of php5:
php5 depends on libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) | libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) | php5-cgi (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) | php5-fpm (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7); however:

I also tried
sudo apt-get install --reinstall php5 -y
But get the following output:
Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 7 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. E: Internal Error, No file name for php5:amd64
I'm now really stuck as all my clients websites are down, and stupidly it seems my backup schedule was never setup properly.
So I know I'm stupid, but please help. ;-)
