Whew...you're root on this box? This is basic sys-admin stuff.
Most people run Apache as a service on startup. If you take my comments literally, you might delete the apache directory tree without deleting the startup call to Apache. Then, the next time you reboot, you will get error messages about not being able to find Apache, etc and the Apache you DO want to start may not start. So, I guess if I have to be absolutely literal, the Apache uninstall procedure might be something like this, assuming you want to uninstall Apache 1 and leave Apache 2 alone: - make sure there are no startup scripts calling Apache 1. By "startup" I mean in /etc/rc.d/* or anywhere else, not the Apache 1 startup scripts in APACHE1_HOME/bin. - make sure you stop Apache 1 with APACHE1_HOME/bin/apachectl stop - delete Apache 1 dir tree Note that you DON'T have to delete ANYTHING if you don't want to. You can have Apache 1 and Apache 2 installed on your system, as long as you don't try to run BOTH on port 80. But if you WERE going to DELETE something, you would want to make sure that something else wasn't trying to call it at a later date (like a startup script in /etc/rc.d/*).
