Well, you can run updatedb and then use locate to look for things like apachectl and Apache.pm. > [2] How do I uninstall everything from [1], so I can > start fresh? There is no simply way to uninstall software that you installed from source. There are things you can do though. First uninstall any apache or mod_perl rpms. Then you can clear out all the Apach::* modules from your perl lib, and delete all the web server stuff (which is typically installed under a single directory). > [3] I'd prefer to use modperl 2 and apache 2, as that > is what my ISP is using.

Don't do that. mod_perl 2 is basically in alpha right now and changes every day. If you plan to run it, you must keep on top of development. The rpms for mod_perl 2 are ancient at this point. > [4] Is a full uninstall enough, or should I reinstall > RH itself? The latter is more complete, but if you don't see any more httpd.conf files or Apache:: modules, you have probably cleaned things close enough. - Perrin
