Network Solution for Windows – Windows system, Linux system, Ubuntu server configuration tip

By mistake I deleted /etc/apache2 directory. So I thought reinstall is the only option I have, then I removed apache2 package with all config files.

#apt-get purge apache2

Now I am trying to install apache2 package

#apt-get install apache2

But system is giving following error.

Error :

It looks like you’ve deleted /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.load, so mod_cgid cannot be enabled.  To fix this, please purge and reinstall apache2.2-common.

Can anybody tell me how to make it correct.

I found the hack to resolve this issue:

After googling number of forums and blogs, one place I found small one liner bash script which has resolved this issue.

sudo apt-get remove –purge $(dpkg -l apache* | grep ii | awk ‘{print $2}’) && sudo apt-get install apache2.
