trouble installing apche
 

need help guys.. i deleted my /etc/httpd folder..

now after that i tried installing apache but i get the message unable to update coz this is an older version. i can skip that step, and it will show completed installation..

but when i look for the /etc/httpd folder its not there.. can somebody help me in this issue..

Try to un-install first via rpm cmds eg:

rpm -qa |grep -i apache
rpm -e <pkgnames> as returned by the 1st cmd.
You may have to use --force on the erase to make it work.
Then install again. Consider using the yum pkg installer, as it handles dpendencies automatically.
