Issue with Ubuntu 19.10 Server

[Guest]

I wrote a Script to Install Apache2, PHP and a few other thins and it doesnt seem to work on the Server version of Ubuntu, but it works fine on Desktop

 

Issues:

Printf (not working)

and

Read (press enter to Continue) 

 

My Script https://github.com/Nolanrulesroblox/Apache2-Install-V2

that's strange... the 2 should be identical. are you sure the commands you are trying to use have their corresponding programs installed?

The script is running Basic Bash scripting

 

Here is my code https://github.com/Nolanrulesroblox/Apache2-Install-V2/blob/master/Apache2 Install and Uninstall.sh

 

Like i could do a fresh install of ubuntu (desktop) and it works fine but with the server it craps itself

that is because Server is missing a bunch of stuff that Desktop comes with in order to keep it lightweight. it's possible that your script relies on some things that server doesn't come with and that need to be installed seperately. double check this.

Is there a way i can locate the installs for the parts of the script?

did you ever chmod +x the script?

have you tried to just do each command by hand on the server to figure out which thing is breaking?

The commands that are not working are printF and read

I have, the script wont run without it (Because when i put in via SFTP it shows it as a Unknown Source script)

It's not printF, it's printf. Pay more attention to what you write. Also, printf is provided by the package coreutils, ie. apt -y install coreutils on your server. You can also add the following to your script to check for existence of printf and to install it, if it's missing:
 

which printf >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
	apt -y install coreutils
fi
