I am wanting to try installing a hosted reddit:
I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 on VirtualBox.
Then i tried to run: $ wget https://raw.github.com/reddit/reddit/master/install-reddit.sh
from the built in shell (ash) that begins lines with (initramfs)
But it tells me "not an http or ftp url"
In the installation process i also installed postgresql db..
i also tried on http, but it tells me "bad address raw.github.com"
What did i do wrong? Or how do i properly wget this script?

How is the network configured in the VirtualBox VM? Can you ping 8.8.8.8 (the google DNS)? How is you resolver configured? – Dmitri Chubarov Nov 03 '13 at 09:25

oh ok, it appears i havent configured networking yet. sorry, i am new to Ubuntu/linux. this is probably why its not working then. thanks – jsky Nov 03 '13 at 09:34

now im lost. following this [configure networking tutorial](http://windy.me.uk/howto-2/run-ubuntu-12-10-server-in-virtualbox/) it tells me to edit a copy of etc/network/interfaces but there is no such file on my install, nor do i have access to sudo, su, ping commands. Also, i chose not to do updates in the install process. – jsky Nov 03 '13 at 10:09

I hadn't installed DNS. Silly mistake.
During the Server Edition installation you have the option of installing additional packages from the CD. The packages are grouped by the type of service they provide.
1. DNS server: Selects the BIND DNS server and its documentation.
