If you have issues with apache2 and you want to reinstall it but you are getting errors,then here it isthe solution for you.
For example, me i had an issue with apache, when i tried to start it i got this error message :
root@pirat9-desktop:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
.: 45: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
Now i want to reinstall apache, but first i need to remove it completely (If you currently have it removed improperly, reinstall it by “sudo apt-get install apache2″ before to use the command bellow). To do that i will use this command :
sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-utils
This command will completely remove all apache2 configuration files and directories.
- Reinstall again apache using the normal command
- Reinstall again apache using the normal command
sudo apt-get install apache2
Now your config files and directories in /etc/apache2 all be back and at their defaults as well as the “apache2-utils previously removed.
root@pirat9-desktop:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting web server apache2 using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
