I accidentally deleted the config files for apache2. I tried to reinstall
them all be doing a purge and then reinstall. That didn't work so I did it
again (that makes sense doesn't it!) Anyway after lots of more and more
desperate hunting and fiddling, I've now reached the stage where I install
using apt-get or aptitude, it says it has installed but there's nothing
there. No executables in the expected directories, no config files. issuing
httpd commands don't work. So where do I go from here? Any suggestions
gratefully received

going and hook up with them later.

Hi Keith,
Just did a quick Google, and it is apparently the apache2-common
package that provides some of the config files. If you try purging
that package and reinstalling it, it should recreate the ones you are
missing.
Hope that helps.

James,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using apt-get to install that package, but no go. Have just tried
another install and it has loaded some packages, mods etc, but not the
proper executable. I think it's going to have to be compiling from source...

Hi Keith,
That sounds like a really bad idea. It would be best to sort out
your installed packages.
Can you show us the output of:
ls -la /usr/sbin/apache2
dpkg -l | grep apache
please?
Cheers,
Andy

Think I've done it!!
Did an apt-get remove apache2-mpm-prefork
It deleted some of the files but then told me I had to auto remove, then I
reinstalled and it told me to purge and reinstall apache2.2-common again.
Which I did. It has reinstalled everything except cgi.load in the
mods-available directory. We are getting there

Wishful thinking on my part there.
Closer inspection shows the executable isn't there.

Hi Keith,
What do you mean by "closer inspection"?
Off-list you sent me a screen shot of the output of "ls -la
/usr/sbin/apache2" which showed it was there.
Is that now no longer the case?
Cheers,
Andy
