i install the apache2 server.
and after installation i changed in the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
so now i need to uninstall the apache2 server.
i used the command "apt-get remove --purge apache2"
it shown me it got removed and after that i checked weather the files are present or not but the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is present and even after restarting the m/c i m getting the file.
so can u tell me how can i delete these files totally.
Thanks in advance

Type
man rm
to learn more about rm before you begin.
When ready give the following commands:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
Make sure that you are in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory by typing
pwd
Then delete everything there:
sudo rm -frv *
This will delete everything in that directory and everything in subdirectories, so be careful.

Ahhh, now I understand your question. You want to know where all the apache related files are and if it is safe to delete these files after you uninstall it.
I don't know so I can't answer this question. (Actually I thought that --purge would do it).
Anyone?
