removing apache and php

[digininja]

I've installed apache and php through MacPorts and would like to remove the ones that were installed by default. How can I do this?

They're kind of spread around so it's hard to completely remove them. The apachectl file is in /usr/sbin/. Some of the configuration files are in /private/etc/apache2/. The php.ini file is there in /private/etc/. PHP has pieces at /usr/bin/, /usr/include/, /usr/lib/.

I'd recommend just leaving it be though.

The problem is it gets priority as it is first in the path. I could remove the apache and php binaries but that still leaves all the config files around. What I'm after is a way to completely uninstall the package so that when I'm looking at something php or apache related then I know it is for the version I installed through port.

Would something like AppCleaner work with things like Apache and PHP? I don't know, but I'm guessing it would.

I doubt it as it isn't installed as an actual app but I'll install it and give it a go

OK, then it might not work. Always worth a try though.

Just change your path? Stick your own directories first

It would work but its not an elegant solution. I don't like having software that isn't use and is out of date sat around on a system.
