apache2 reinstallation

[nhwk]

I decided to reinstall apache2, using apt-get remove apache2*, and manually deleting all of /etc/apache2.

Now after I apt-get install apache2, and/or apache2-common, there are quite a few things missing from /etc/apache2, such as apache2.conf and the entire directory mods-available is empty.

I've tried all sorts of things, trying apt-get --reinstall install, installing the subpackages manually, removing it all, but still it's leaving a lot of things out (specifically out of apache2-common, since it's responsible for apache2.conf and the mods folder).

Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have all of the following installed:
* apache2
* apache2-mpm-prefork
* libapache2-*

Also are you running sarge, etch or sid?

I have apache2, apache2-mpm-prefork, and libapache2-mod-php5 installed. I'm running sid.

The only thing in mods-available is mime_magic.conf, and apache2.conf is still missing from /etc/apache2

What version of apache2-common is installed? Also, does apt-get check show any errors?

[nhwk]

apache2-common is 2.0.55-4

debian3800:/etc/apache2# apt-get check apache2-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

debian3800:/etc/apache2# apt-get check
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

this is really weird

If you have kpackage installed, could you find apache2-common in there and choose the File List tab. See if there are any question marks.

Also, have you tried dpkg-reconfigure apache2?

I don't have X installed on this machine. Also dpkg-reconfigure apache2 or apache2-common doesn't help

EDIT: I finally got it working! I had to manually dpkg -P (purge) all apache related files, then reinstall Strange, oh well. Thanks for the help.
