I thought that there are a lot of commands under Ubuntu, and it’s not that troublesome as long as I find the correct command. The damn thing is, there are so many results on the Internet, and I don’t know how to create them randomly, so none of them work at all. I loaded and unloaded Apache seven or eight times. It took more than two hours.
Finally I saw someone’s method on a forum. I found that the command was a little different from others, so I gave it a try. It was really good. Method:
sudo apt-get –purge remove apache2
sudo apt-get –purge remove apache2-commonsudo apt-get –purge remove apache2-utils
sudo apt-get autoremove apache2
Then sudo apt-get install apache2
PS: If it doesn’t work, just Forcefully delete everything about apache2, because I have already killed everything before executing these commands.
Delete the /etc/apache2 folder: sudo rm -r /etc/apache2
Delete the /var/www folder: sudo rm -r /var/www
Delete /etc/init.d/apache2 File: sudo rm -r /etc/init.d/apache2
Then uninstall PHP5
The method is as follows:
sudo apt-get –purge remove libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-gd php5-mysql
sudo apt-get autoremove php5
The following is how to uninstall MYSQL:
Enter the command in the terminal:
1 sudo apt-get autoremove –purge mysql-server-5.0
2 sudo apt-get remove mysql-server3 sudo apt -get autoremove mysql-server
4 sudo apt-get remove mysql-common (very important)
The following sentence is to clear the residual information.
dpkg -l |grep ^rc|awk ’{print $2}’ |sudo xargs dpkg -P
