[users@httpd] how to uninstall httpd-2.2.10
Hello All,
I've compile and installed apache-2.2.10 from source and would like to
remove it from my system. I notice that I cannot use 'make uninstall'
anymore.
Could someone tell me how to go about uninstalling it?
Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is:
1 packetize it if you can (it depends of which is your env: I mean, 4
example if you use linux rpm compatible with the command rpmbuild -ta
httpd-x.y.z.tar.gz you should build all the packages apache related. I don't
know the deb package syntax. If you don't use linux it depends of you
operating system)
2 Install and uninstall the package using the os utilities.
If you did it using the classical ./configure; make; make install, yuo
should take a look in the file
config.layout in the root of the archive.
...
##
## config.layout -- Pre-defined Installation Path Layouts
##
## Hints:
## - layouts can be loaded with configure's --enable-layout=ID option
## - when no --enable-layout option is given, the default layout is
`Apache'
## - a trailing plus character (`+') on paths is replaced with a
## `/<target>' suffix where <target> is currently hardcoded to 'apache2'.
## (This may become a configurable parameter at some point.)
##
# Classical Apache path layout.
<Layout Apache>
prefix: /usr/local/apache2
exec_prefix: ${prefix}
bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib
libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/modules
mandir: ${prefix}/man
sysconfdir: ${prefix}/conf
datadir: ${prefix}
installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build
errordir: ${datadir}/error
iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons
htdocsdir: ${datadir}/htdocs
manualdir: ${datadir}/manual
cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin
includedir: ${prefix}/include
localstatedir: ${prefix}
runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/logs
logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/logs
proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/proxy
</Layout>
...
For example the manuals are into the dir /usr/local/apache2/manual and so
on.
Please pay attention to the file LAYOUT too;
Remove the necessary files according to the config.layout
finally, the make install should add the user apache (verify your
/etc/passwd file) and the init script (usually in /etc/init.d); remove them
if present
I hope this will be enough for your issue
Regards, Michele

"make uninstall" sounds like a convenient feature. Does anyone know a
reason we don't have it, besides that nobody's coded it yet?

I think it will probably depend on your set up, actually. For
instance, if you set your prefix to /usr/local or something like that,
then you obviously don't want to just delete that whole thing, but
apache will have installed things through out various folders under
there. Not sure if there's some automated tool to do the uninstall,
but one thing you can do is re-build install with a different prefix,
say /tmp/apache-install, and when that's done, you'll be able to see
exactly what it installed where (relative to prefix, that is). That
sounds like an aweful lot of work, though.
Good luck,
-Brian

Ok. I should have read the other posts as reference. It's removing the
installed apache directory that was specified in ./configure
-prefix=target_directory ...
