[SOLVED] Reinstall Linux Package with File Backup

Issue

I installed apache2 on my Raspberry Pi, which runs Debian OS.

apt-get intall apache2

Then I removed it using

apt-get remove apache2

But its files were present there, and I could also find some other packages related to apache2 over dpkg. So, I manually deleted the apache2 file from /etc/.

Now when I try to install the apache2 back. It installs it, but do not recalls all the files that were deleted.

I am looking for a fresh installation, for the apache2 with all new fresh files

What should I do.?

Solution

How about

apt-get purge apache2

followed by

apt-get autoclean

and then finally

apt-get install apache2

Works on ubuntu on my desktop. Not sure about RasPi though. So, inform me about the results

try to reconfigure the package maybe?

dpkg-reconfigure apache2

good luck
