[gentoo-user] changing Apache installation

[michael higgins]

Hello, all. 

I've tried to install Template Toolkit, Apache2::Template under Apache2, mod_perl2 and am having, no suprise, issues. Though this may be possible, I'm not up to it.

So, rather than try to make this work, I just want to unmerge cleanly all apache/mod_perl/TT stuff on my machine, including leftover configs. And then re-install apache 1.x, or whatever.

Any pointers to make this go smoothly? I'm thinking something like CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="-*" emerge -Cv apache modperl or something similar... is this possible, or do I have to hunt & peck for the old configs, particularly if I've had an old apache 1.x install on here before and didn't try to clean the configs?

TIA for any replies.

"etcat files apache" will tell what files "apache" installed - you could
use this to make a list of where to look for manualing removing config and
doc files.
