Unistalled but can't run apache2 on Ubuntu 5.0.4

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum.

I was intending to use ISPConfig and did a test install on my home machine.

Problem ISPConfig was a test and after I installed it and decided I wouldn't use it, I uninstalled it, only now I cant run my old webserver.
How can i get webserver back?
i have tried to unistall apache2 and reinstall but i get the same error message "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost."

Or How can i completely remove apache to do a fresh re-install?

Help plz

regards,

chloe

 

Do you see error messages in the logs in /var/log/apache/?
To completely uninstall Apache, I'd run

Code:

apt-get remove apache2

and the move the configuration files under /etc/apache2 somewhere else.
Then do

Code:

apt-get install apache2

But I haven't tested this, do this at your own risk!

 

There are lots of errors about connection, port and I think firewall. I’m not at my machine at the moment.

If I can remove apache completely, I should be able to get back the web server.
But when I tried yesterday it kept on using existing configuration files.

How can I remove all ISPConfig configuration files & directory from my machine?
I think ISPConfig firewall might be interfering with my system.

As I said:

Can you post the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?

 

Can you post the output of
Code:

iptables -L

output: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Ok, your firewall is off, so it's not interfering.
