Hi,

Please tell me how to uninstall them so that I can re-install everything from 0. Thanks!

rpm -e <package name> if installed via rpm

or
in redhat use redhat-canfig-packages
in mandrake use drakconf
if you tell your dist.

Is that mean I need to get orginial source first?

Another thing is if I installed one of them via tar.gz ? What should I do to then? Thanks!

Well, I don't know if this will help, but I'm using RH8.0 and I just upgraded PHP ( heard there was an issue with it in 8.0). All I did was D/L the php rpms into my rpm dir and used:

rpm -U php*

and this took care of dependencies too.
I assume you can do the same with Httpd and MySql.

What exactly is your problem, by the way? Something in particular, or you just wanting to upgrade?

Well, I'm a noob myself so hope this helps -- just trying to give back! :-)

you do not need the sources rpm files are binary files you can install them directly and uninstall directl if you compiled one of them read read me there must be option for uninstall like clean or something

this can be an option compile it again and install it it will overwrite the same file then from the same directory use erase command
