looking for some help.

anyone interested in helping me downgrade apache in my redhat 8.0 box?

the box is co-located and installing a different o/s isn't an option.

apache 2 comes with redhat 8 and it does not seem to be an rpm. i'm not sure how to get rid of it.

please help me.

I would just rm -rf anything with apache in the name and then re-install it.

Or you can reinstall Redhat without the apache pkg.

i dont think ive tried to remove anything that was put in place on the install other than manually deleting the files and directories themselves (which im not sure is a smart thing), but i havent had a problem yet. I would think if you would do the [SHELL]$whereis apache[/SHELL] and get rid of all the dir's and files and then download the source for apache and install you should be ok. Please someone correct me if im wrong

I would do updatedb;locate apache because I believe whereis only finds things with an EXACT match... may be wrong though..

thansk guys.. i'm about to fix something or break somethin .. here we go =)

sde, if YOU REALLY need something accurate install RH 8.0 on another box, then install apache with PHP. Record ALL changes and copy them over... It's timely though and slow...

whereis apache

just returns "apache:" .. no directories or anything.

WTF? do:

whereis htdocs
whereis httpd.conf

They should show a location

. Where do you keep your web servers files? /www? rm -rf it.

you sure apache is installed and running? when i do a [SHELL]$ whereis apache[/SHELL] on mandrake which has no apache installed i get the same, but when i do the same on my debian server i get all the listings

whereis is probably screwed up, I would just use locate (notice you have to do updatedb before you run locate)

sde · 01-04-2003, 09:12 PM

whereis works perfectly fine.

what about: whereis httpd ?/ would that be the same thing?

Mike,

Try these:

- locate apachectl
- locate httpd.conf

Also:

- rpm -qa | grep apache
- service httpd status

if the service command returns "OK" then you can look at the file /etc/init.d/httpd to figure out what it is running.
