I am trying to install Tomcat 7 on my Dell Dimention 3000 running Wubi 12.04 (not a server). I found instructions here: http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/, but can not get past step 1A. I get a 404 error when it trys to install some packages.

This is the code I used to install: sudo apt-get install tomcat7

This is a log of my terminal window:

  • @sinclair 12.04 is an LTS release supported through April 2017; please keep comments on AskUbuntu respectful and constructive. –  May 06 '16 at 22:51

    @vikarjramun Please try running sudo apt-get update to update your package lists. Does it give any errors? If not, then try running sudo apt-get install tomcat7 again –  May 06 '16 at 22:52
  • @NickWeinberg Did not mean to be disrespectful, but yes you got a point. – sinclair May 06 '16 at 22:55
  • @NickWeinberg I did that, but received the following error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) and E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg), is another process using it? I will retry this – vikarjramun May 06 '16 at 23:19

    @NickWeinburg the apt-get update worked for me the second time: I am now in the process of installing tomcat7 Thank you very much for your help! – vikarjramun May 06 '16 at 23:46
  • @NickWeinberg You might want to convert your comment that solved his issue to an answer. – AlwaysTalkingAboutMyDog May 07 '16 at 07:44
  • @Zzzach... done! Thank you for the suggestion. –  May 07 '16 at 13:15

Please try running 

sudo apt-get update

to update your package lists. Does it give any errors?

If not, then try running

sudo apt-get install tomcat7

again. This should hopefully fix your problem.
