Ok sorry to sound so dumb, but how do i know if it's running, what command should i run? Shouldn't it have started once i did a sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart ? If yea, then it is i believe

What I mean, is are you using apache version 2.x or 1.3.x?

My suggestions: (I have to sign off now)

- reinstall all the packages after having purged them with apt-get remove --purge <packagenames>
- Install a different version of the apache2 server (mpm-prefork, etc.)
- Google it

Hope this helps a little . . .

That I don't think is a good idea... it will pull a lot of packages with it.

libapache2-mod-php5 is not the same as php5. php5 is the actual scripting engine, and libapache2-mod-php5 is the interface between Apache and PHP.

try

Code:

---

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Thats precisely why I'm contemplating on taking the packages off. I'm not sure what to do now :S
