hi 2 all
I installed apache-2 and php-4 as it was mentioned in their
manuals .

they worked with eachother properly , i just wanted to repeat the proccess in order to get more familiar with the installation steps and new features, so i deleted the installed files by rm and rmdir commands, but still after runing

" locate php
locate apache"

there are directories named "php" and "apache".
when I change directory to the paths , I got error message that

" thre is not such a file or directry" !!!!!

I also checked the path with "ls -al"l commands there are no such a directories but still the output of locate commands shows these directories.

any idea ?!!!!!!!!!!!
m_a

as root do

updatedb

wait till it finishes then do locate again

thanks a million
