LAMP has documentatio on uninstalling ,but its mostly deleting the folder.
No you cannot do that. Except for FreeBSD's portage system which installs an app in its own folder (correct me if i'm wrong) the way you are saying, the rest of he package managers distribute files between /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local, /usr/lib, /usr/share and a whole lot of other locations no sane human can keep track of. The only right way to uninstall the lamp stack on Ubuntu would be via the nice GUI package manager or using apt, aptitude and (for the ambitious) dpkg. This way, Steve will not be dogged with inconsistencies and un-resolvable dependencies the next time he is installing anything else using his package manager. Speaking of which, how did you install it in the first place ? Just to be a bit more helpful, Steve try the following on a command line : $ sudo apt-get remove apache2 php5 mysql-server as an alternative, this may also work. proceed with caution though $ sudo apt-get remove lamp-server Personally, I usually install my lamp stack from source to /opt/lamp . This is easier to move around to another machine and i do not have to remember to go sijui-wapi to configure this or that. It takes a while to get it right, but the process is a whole lot more fun than it sounds :-) -- Ndungi Kyalo neno.co.ke ~ Your word O Lord, lights my path.
