I am running Debian 3.1. I run apt-get to install or remove packages, and i
have run apt-get remove apache and apache 2... all apache packages....
I know that even after I run remove on them...there are still lots of apache
things..or web applications left over..... do I need to purge everything,
mambo, sql-ledger, mailman? the works,, every trace of anything apache
before reinstalling?
I'll do anything to get this working..this is driving me nuts.

Um, let's back up a moment. Just because I install something doesn't mean
it's set to be started at boot time. On Gentoo, for example, I have to
run rc-update to add a daemon to system startup. On Red Hat the
equivalent is called check[somethingorother]. On MS Windows each package
has its own gadget for inventing the service that runs it.
Before you go removing any packages I'd suggest finding out whether Apache
is set up to start automagically at boot.
If Apache is started and is listening on the expected port(s) then another
thing to look at is firewalls. I've lost more time than I care to recall
in troubleshooting things that weren't working because I hadn't run
'iptables' to update the network access rules for the box. :-/

If you installed apache using debian's packages, then it should be managed
by debian, and you'd probably be better off asking in a debian forum.
If you installed apache from apache.org, then just rm the directory it's in -
which will depend on your configuration options. (e.g. /usr/local/apache)
