Re: Apache2 neds to ne reset
Balamurugan: Please download apache as a tar.gz and try installing in a local path rather installing as a system(/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). This is bad advice. This installation will not receive any automatic upgrades and any problems the OP has with the Debian package can occur here as well.

Re: Apache2 neds to ne reset
Dear John, Please download apache as a tar.gz and try installing in a local path rather installing as a system(/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). In this way, you can configure to the most minute level. If you find any issues, you can simply remove that path. That is it. Steps: 1. tar -xzvf apache_tar_file 2. cd apache untar dir 3. ./configure with the required arguments (usually prefix, give it with your local path. Check './configure --help' for more details) 4. make 5. make install (This needs to be run with the user which has the permission to install apache in the configured prefix directory) After successfully completing the above steps, you can go to the apache/bin and execute 'httpd -k start' command. That is it. Regards, Balamurugan R On 09/09/2013 10:13 PM, John W. Foster wrote: I have an installation of Apache2 that is misconfigured no longer works.

You might want to take note of the packages that are uninstalled during the first step. J. -- In idle moments I remember former lovers with sentimental tenderness.

One way would be to remove the package apache2 and then move the config files out of the way. Then reinstall apache2 to get the default settings back. apt-get remove apache2 mv /etc/apache2/ /etc/apache2.old/ apt-get install apache2 That allows you to at least use the old, broken config files as references.
