Ubuntu 14.04: apt-get update "404 not found issue"
I just created a new droplet and attempted to run sudo apt-get update as part of the LAMP tutorial and was hit with a bunch of 404 not found errors (see below). Is there an issue with the mirror currently?

I created a ticket and got the following response.
I have the same issue with my Ubuntu 14.04 instance, thank you for looking into it Hacksore!
I had this same problem earlier. Found out the mirror links are missing some information…
If you open up /etc/apt/sources.list
Do a find and replace:
Find: http://mirrors.digitalocean.com
Replace: http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/
Try your sudo apt-get update again and the mirrors should be proper.
Cheers.
Thanks Kakeiso, worked for me.
I’m having this same issue on my Ubuntu droplet but I already have the sources as listed, with the /ubuntu/ on the end.
Just tried this and getting the same problem with ubuntu 14.10.
FYI, I ran into this earlier, but after running an apt-get update before the install/upgrade everything went swimmingly. Thanks!
