hello
I wanted to remove apache and it worked but everytime it`s installed it comes with the old settings...and I want the default ones..I don`t know to manage an apache server but i`m learning!
I tried these commands and not of then didn`t had any effect:
apt-get remove apache2
aptitude remove apache2
rm -rf /etc/apache2 , rm -rf /var/www
dpkg -P apache2
and of course ... --purge remove apache2
please help me..I tried the irc channel but..nothing
I really need help and thank you in advance
(if you recomand some tutorials too..you are most welcomed)

Are you root when you execute the commands? What makes you think they didn't work?

(rm -rf will work period as far as purging the configs from system goes.)

I don't not think you are doing what you think you are doing.

the commands worked the problem is that when installing apache is not working and it has the old configuration files..I just want to have it installed with the default configuration...

a clean apache install ( without a cms) will have you go to the apache default " coagulation " index . html page

what happens if you go to 127.0.0.1 ( or what ever your docroot is )

and can you answer these
what os is this ?
how was apache installed ( rpm , deb, arch.gz , ???? )
how are YOU CURRENTLY installing apache??? ( and myqsl,php,perl,...)

did you , and do you, have a .apache config folder in the normal user home folder ?

how are you setting httpd.conf ??? the settings ??

Hello,
if I go to the localhost nothing appear
I use debian lenny
apache was installed using the command apt-get install apache2
and I didn`t made any changes to the httpd file
I repeat..I just want to install apache2 with the default settings nothing else but if I remove it and install it again it keeps having the old settings

problem solved,thank you all
