Multiple installations of Apache?

[swraman]

Hi,

I am not sure how I got myself in this situation, but I think I have multiple instances of apache running on my system and I want to get rid of one of them. But I dont know how to find where the installation is and how to uninstall it.

I have one instance at /usr/local/apache2 which I want to keep.

What makes me think that there are 2 installations of it is this: When I run "service apache2 start" it starts Apache, and when I go to localhost I am greeted with the default "It Works!" page.

However, none of the other files in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html are visible (I get file not found error), nor are any changes I make to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html reflected at http://localhost.

But, if I "service apache2 stop" then "/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start", the server starts again and http://localhost points to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs.

So do you think I have 2 installations of apache, or is there something else going on here? If I do have 2 installations, how do I find the other one?

Thanks

Raman

not sure but I think that with a standard install of apache the index file is located at /var/www/ try editing it and puting your files there and see if it works how you want.

Hmm yes, that is where the other htdocs folder is!

But why are there 2 - is there any way to remove one of them?
