Complete Removal

[geffers]

Guys,

I am going mad here; I have a problem with apache web server and want to remove and start again.

I have tried sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2

Found some files still there so did sudo dpkg --purge apache2

Still found files in /etc/apache2

As some of it works and some doesn't I am going round in circles trying to solve so think it is quicker to start again but cannot completely remove ALL files.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

when you install apache2 there was more than on package installed.

So you need to purge all of them.
for me other packages installed I am on squeeze on a PC ansd apache2 is not installed)
libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3
libaprutil1-ldap
apache2.2-bin
apache2-utils
apache2.2-common
apache2-mpm-worker
apache2

FYI I use lightt. For small websites it is enough.
