Reinstalling Apache - Newbie
|
|
|
| I have installed Mandrake 9 and Apache, and everything was working
fine...easy..
Then trying to modify a parameter, I run the "Web Server Wizard"
supplied by Mandrake.. nooooo... after that, nothing was working
anymore.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Apache without success.
I have also deleted /etc/httpd directory Uninstalled and re-installed
Apache.
No way, the installation seems successful but nothing works.
The directory tree under /etc/httpd is much smaller than before
My question: which is the best way to remove all APACHE and reinstall
from the beginning?
thanks for help

Use whichever package manager came with Mandrake to remove Apache,
then huntdown and destroy every other apache-related thing that didn't
got removed. /etc/httpd is the first one, then check if you have
somewhere httpd, /var/apache or /var/httpd, /usr/local/apache or
/usr/local/httpd and similar. A fast way (ok, maybe not so fast) is
cd /
find . -name "httpd"
find . -name "apache"
then reinstall.
Question: if it was working, why did you messed up with it?

You already had some answers about installing apache on Mandrake.
But do not rely on MDK wizards for configuring apache or any other serious
server application.
Prefer this method:
for abc = 1 to 9 zillions {
carefullyReadApache(doc);
backupYouOld(configuration);
configureManuallyUsingATextEditorOfYour(
choice);
next abc;
}
This public domain algorithm is proven 100% successfull.
Bonne chance!
