deleted apache2 folder to reinstall

[brainhammer]

I am new to linux, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 for some days. I was trying to install few apache modules and messed up thing. Therefore, to install a fresh copy of apache, I uninstalled that running version. I found /etc/apache2 folder is there. I though a fresh install would be better. And therefore I have deleted the /etc/apache2 directory and /etc/init.d/apache2 as well.

But now, I cant install apache again. when I try command


sudo apt-get install lamp-server^then it shows no error, but when i try:


root@user-Inspiron-N5010:~# service apache2 start
apache2: unrecognized serviceand in /etc/apache2 directory, only an empty 'mods-available' folder there.

How can I install Apache2 now?

Try re-installing it if it already exists.


sudo apt-get install lamp-server --reinstall

Welcome to Ubuntu

If you're still having problems try:


sudo apt-get purge lamp-server
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean

Then try and install app

I have tried both, but no result ..



sudo apt-get purge lamp-server
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean




sudo apt-get install lamp-server --reinstall

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ --reinstall

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ --reinstallmysql is ok. PHP also seems working. But Apache is not.

any suggestion?

[jmfal]

Try this

sudo apt-get install -f

[brainhammer]

Try this

sudo apt-get install -f

not working... :(

[jmfal]

Try this


sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-common sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 apache2-common

[jmfal]

That didn't copy/paste right



sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-common


sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 apache2-common

[brainhammer]

here is the output:::


root@user-Inspiron-N5010:~# sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 apache2-common

Package apache2-common is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'apache2-common' has no installation candidate
root@user-Inspiron-N5010:~#

[jmfal]

sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils

If that doesn't work open synaptic and install from there.

[brainhammer]

not working.. I found both are installed in Ubuntu Software Center, when I remove first one, both removed, and when I install that one - both installed at a time.

but message is same:

root@user-Inspiron-N5010:~# service apache2 start
apache2: unrecognized service
root@user-Inspiron-N5010:~#

[jmfal]

Try

sudo service apache2 start

[brainhammer]

same...

I don't know what to tell you .
