Re: Cannot remove PHP Version 5.2.1-0.dotdeb.1

Mario, That did it - when I tried to reload the phpinof.php script Apache did not know what to do with the file. Now I'll drag the compiler from it's dusty corner and start from scratch. Thanks a million - Miles On 4/2/07, Mario Guenterberg <mg@havelsoft.com> wrote:

On a new Ubuntu (Debian) server I installed this version of PHP because I wanted some 5.2 features. It's the hardened version, and not the one we want. I have done the conventional "aptitude remove php5", and then went to all of the directories returned by "whereis php5" and manually removed them. I've rebooted both the server and my own computer, and still a http://localhost/phpinfo.php returns the phpinfo() data AND shows configuration file paths: etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d which have been deleted. Try dpkg --purge php-5.2.1 or so. You may have only the php binaries (CLI) removed. This removes the config-scripts at all. Apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5 removes your apache2 modules and the dpkt --purge libapache2-mod-php5 removes all the config scripts of them. I have build php 5.2.1 from source on Ubuntu 6.10 and it works fine. Installad in /usr/local for some system reasons and of course a easy way to upgrade.
