Following installation on roswiki, on Ubuntu Precise it worked out-of-box (nice!). But I get the error as the title when I installed on Trusty (which I'm aiming to use rms on) and went to http://localhost/.

Installation log (sorry this is from 2nd run; I didn't make a copy of the initial run).

Hmmmm, strange. I have it running on 14.04 no problem. Are the folder permissions correct for web access? You could chmod -R 777 the entire folder to test (don't leave it that way for production servers).

Now I did the following but still get the same error. I'll keep here posted.

• chmod -R 777 /var/www/rms
• apt-get purge apache2, rm -fr /var/www/ and re-ran rms' install.sh.
