deinstalling / reinstalling apache
Hi everybody, how can I deinstall apache-1.3.27_4 so that I can do a fresh install of it? I can't make it run, so I want to start all over again and see if I did something wrong. There is a file in /var/db/pkg/apache-1.3.27_4/ with the name +DEINSTALL which seems to be an executable, but I can't execute it. What does the + mean? Is this file what I need? Thanks a lot, Holger ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot, Holger pkg_info | grep apache will tell you the exact name of the apache package you have installed, you can then pkg_delete it.

Hi, after done so, I get the following: pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) To delete Apache user permanently, use 'pw userdel www' Is this normal? Should I go ahead and do so? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Another thing that could be going on here is pkg_delete isn't deleting /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf because it's been changed. Manaully removing it will be the best course of action if you want to start with a completely fresh slate.

Hope this will work out like I want it ;) Thanks for your help, Holger ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
