I'm having nothing but grief trying to get Apache reinstalled on a Kubuntu server I've been building. I installed Apache, then mistakenly installed Apache2 on top of that, then tried to uninstall both, not knowing that --reinstall was not an option with apt-get install. Plenty of files were deleted manually, problems arose, hilarity failed to ensue. Now when I try:
$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2 apt tells me that Apache2 is being installed, but there are no /var/log files for Apache, and when I try to launch apache2 with /etc/init.d/apache2 start, there's no output, and Apache simply doesn't start. When I tried recently to simply install Apache (not 2), I got the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Suggested packages: apache-doc The following NEW packages will be installed: apache 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
