Apache taking over my Nginx
-
Marie-Lynn
MemberI have installed my linode following the VPS bible steps. Everything was fine until yesterday when all my domains started pointing to '/var/www' the apache default web folder.
What makes it so that Apache starts instead of nginx? Will removing Apache always prevent this?

Unregisteredif you dont need apache, then i'd remove it. I've setup 4 boxes with the vps bible and all running nginx.
sudo apt-get remove apache
(it also might be apache2)if you want to see a list of packages that you have installed, do:
dpkg --get-selections > packagesand your installed packages will be saved into the file packages
if this doesn't work, show us your vhost file

aye to that! apache was likely installed as a dependency package .. do this:-
aptitude show apache2
and if you have some package depending on it it should be listed.
if you're not sure after a bit of research you could just turn it off for now:-
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
at my site guvnr.com there's a good tutorial explaining how to change run levels too, whereby you could disable a package so it doesn't kick back up on reboot:-
