removing ever single trace of apache

indexer · 08-26-2009, 03:38 PM

Hi

i have a problem i cannot seem to get PHP5 to work in a single way. tried for 4 hours now. So i am trying to delete every single trace of PHP5, and apache2. That way i can start a fresh start with it, and will have it to work within no time, did this before.

But how do i completely remove every single trace of it?

thanks!

Not easy, might be easier for a clean install of distro.

Basically you look at what you installed, be it rpm or what and reverse that process. Might even have to try virtual machine and compare no install to install and note files and other changes.

I suspect you would be better asking about your symptoms of the problem.

How were you installing PHP5? Did you build it yourself or did you install via package? This also makes a huge difference in how you have to set it up if you want to get it working. I know your pain, I have built apache/php5/mysql all from scratch before, and it really is tricky to get working if you don't understand it all.
