looking for some help.

[sde]

thanks scott, .. here are the results. [SHELL] [root@dp root]# whereis apachectl
apachectl: /usr/sbin/apachectl /usr/share/man/man8/apachectl.8.gz
[root@dp root]# rpm -qa |grep apache
[root@dp root]# service httpd status
httpd (pid 19209 19208 19207 19206 19205 19204 19203 19202 19199) is running...
[root@dp root]#[/SHELL]

my httpd.conf is in /etc/httpd/conf/

so it's like apache isn't an rpm for redhat 8.0 .. kinda weird . now do i just remove everything in /etc/httpd/ ?

i'm completely lost.

[Ilya020]

Just do what I love to do...:

[SHELL]$ rm -rf[/SHELL]

cp -R /etc/httpd /etc/backup
rm -rf /etc/httpd

Then try to access the webpage, if it works, well you just FSCKED UP! But you have a back up If you can access it. Horrah! Get the latest packages and install!


EDIT: Soon I will be in the CodeNewbie IRC channel if you want to talk to me or something?

EDIT(again): Can't find it, nevermind... Telepathy?

[sde]

haha irc .. i remember that =)

irc.openprojects.net #codenewbie

i didn't even think of backing up =) good advice. i won't be in irc tonight, but i guess this is how i'll start.

FINE THAT I WONT BE IRC EITHER! =) But backup and do it, and if it fsckes up and goes belly up, well hey your problem not mine

[sdeming]

Don't just start removing things. That gets to be a pain in the arse to recover from.

Bare with me a few, I'm gonna check a few things and maybe come up with an answer for you.

[sdeming]

Okay, it looks like RedHat 8.0 has the rpms named different than previously.

do this:

- rpm -qa|grep -i httpd

And post the results...

Removing it may be as simple as:

- rpm -qa|grep -i httpd | xargs rpm -e

But, lets see the output first.

sdeming, damn, taking out the fun of rm -rf'ing just any random directory with web or apache on it

thanks scott, .. the main goal here is just to be able to run apache/php/mysql together on rh8. if there is anything you need to check on the box, let me know and i'll get the info, or give you login. thanks!

sde, give me a log in, I am well trained in the are of rm -r and rm -f, and even combined, INTO rm- rf!

[sdeming]

Mike,

Email me the login info. I'll at least gather the required details and then walk you through the motions. You may want to install Apache via source as well so you can be certain you are always up to date on the latest patches and such.

Building apache and php is relatively simple, again I can help you with that stuff. RPM's for things like that just get in the way.
